Central United 4-3 St Martins

What a fantastic game of football on Tuesday night.  In the first half we looked a shadow of the team that played on Saturday and soon found ourselves 2-0 down, which it remained until half time leaving us with a mountain to climb but an early 2nd half goal by Oakley, a stunner from outside the box right into the top corner, changed the match.  

From that moment on we took the game by the scruff of the neck and were the better team.  An in-form Alfie got on the scoresheet yet again to level things before a St Martins own goal put us ahead 3-2. 

The last 10 minutes saw plenty of St Martins pressure and it looked like we would hold on until they broke through and equalised just before 80 minutes was up but the game was not over; in the dying seconds of injury time Ollie produced a huge kick that bounced high over the St Martins keeper and Alfie reacted the quickest to get on the end of it to side foot the ball into the net for the winner.  

Another really impressive display lads, once again coming from behind to beat a strong team.  The win takes us 2nd in the league with 3 games to play.  

Man of the Match goes to Marcus who was superb at the back. 

Next training is Wednesday 6.30-7.30pm at KGV followed by Axminster home on the Saturday. 

For those who can make it, the end of season awards are on Sunday at The Corn Exchange, 2pm.
