Few snapshots from yesterday’s 4-2 victory over Field Lane

Full time:
The Furnace 4-2 Field Lane Res

Match report:

No game for a few weeks, just 12 players for the game and playing field lane. You'd think this would be a for-gone conclusion today. But it wasn't.

First half was very tight. Both teams with good chances but neither could take them. Some good defending from the lads frustrated field lane and we played alot of the first half on the counter attack.

2nd half was much better from us and seemed to hold all the action. We scored a few minutes into the half, Ewan Mac laying it nicely for Matt O to finesse a lovely side footed effort out of the keepers reach from the 18 yard box. We conceded not long after from a corner. A looping header over Tom at the back post. This didn't discourage us though, we kept probing and were on the front foot alot. We went ahead after 65 minutes. Jack F with the goal from a Ben C assist. Jack's description of the goal: I’ve scored a pot shot bobbler from about 30 yards cause their keeper was trying to tuck his top in after the lino told him his belly was hanging out 😂😂.
We went 3-1 up a few minutes later. This time, Ewan C getting on the end of a long free kick from Tom which the defender nodded right into his path for him to cooly finish. Seemed like the game was done at this point and we looked comfortable. But this is sunday football.....
Sam T didn't do anything with a ball over his head and their sun ran onto to finish between northys legs. We demanded calm at this point with 10 minutes to play. And again didn't look in too much trouble. Phil could have added a 4th from a fired in corner, but his bullet header was blocked off the line. We did kill the game with 3 minutes to go. Ewan Mac with another assist this time for Tommy, whose lovely first time strike from the edge of the box found the bottom corner via a small deflection. FT 4-2

Great result lads! Onto next week vs Black Rhino 💪💪💪

Yesterday’s match report after our 7–0 win over Sawley Wanderers 🔥
Courtesy of Tom Jennings :

A comfortable win in the end this morning despite not playing as well as we could have. The pitch was dreadful, arguably the worst pitch I've ever played on personally.
We took the lead after a lot of early pressure through Tommy. He ran through the midfield and fired into the bottom corner. Following the goal we dropped off a bit and allowed Sawley into the game. They had a chance for 1-1 after a bad GK clearance but they put the effort wide. It was 2-0 after 35 mins from a Tom corner which Ben finally dispatched after flirting with the ball 1st! And just before HT we made it 3-0. Captain Phil with a sweet strike from the edge of the box into the roof of the net!

2nd half we played alot better. More control, less mistakes and more goals. We should have scored 7 or 8 in this half. The 4th goal came from Tom stealing a loose ball and driving forward before releasing a through ball forward which Ben got a toe nail on before Ewan Mac latched onto and finished well. Goal number 5 belonged to Tommy from a Zach corner. Josh capped off a great performance with a goal on 80 minutes assisted by Matt O and Adam got his first goal for the club after finishing cooly from another Tom assist.

Good win, clean sheet. Onto next week lads!
