Twyford always provide tough opposition and yesterday was no different. The first 20 minutes or so possession was fairly even but despite us having the better chances Twyford went ahead with their first shot on goal. Our response was good and we created several more good chances but were desperately unlucky at times, particularly when Oakley's brilliant long range shot struck the cross bar and bounced close to the line and away from goal. Twyford on the other hand were restricted to just one clear cut chance that was thwarted by a great save from Ollie.
Despite being a goal down at half time we all felt a win was still well within reach and we just needed to get that first goal and more would follow. That first goal came when Zak Burnard pounced on a loose ball in the box and thumped the ball into the back of the net. After that we grew in confidence and played some fantastic football but some dogged defending kept us at bay, until Oakley delivered a inch perfect corner to the edge of the six yard box for Kaden to leave his marker and meet with a glancing header into the right hand corner of the goal, which ended up being the match winner.
Man of the Match goes to Kaden who was the provider of several good chances, was virtually unplayable at times with his mesmerising skill on the ball and also scored the winning goal.
There were lots of other strong performances but the other stand out one was Zac Burnard who not only got us back in the game with a goal but was excellent in midfield and also at centre back when called upon to fill that role for the last 30 minutes.
Another big well done lads for a great win in a game where a scoreline of 4 or 5-1 would not have flattered us. That puts us 2nd in the table btw!
See you Monday at training.
