It was the last game of the season today, away against a Woodbank Warriors side we drew against a couple of games ago.
With a change in formation and a different forward lineup than usual, the boys were well up for the challenge, despite the difference in league positions.
We started on the front foot and were unfortunate not to go ahead after a few gut-busting runs forward, but without the end product we deserved.
After a few changes, we stayed on top and eventually got the goal we deserved when Reuben’s tackle came through to Louie, who rounded a defender and scored despite the keeper’s initial save.
We went into the break in the lead, but the opposition pegged us back shortly after the restart, despite us playing well in attack and defence.
We went another goal up when Lewis’ pass found Reuben on the edge of the box, who finished in the far corner - the only place the keeper couldn’t get to it.
The game finished 2-2 despite one of the best team performances of the season and a fantastic display of the lads putting the game plan into action.
Our man of the match today was Liam, who took his captain’s responsibilities seriously, marshalling his defence and putting in a fantastic personal display - constantly popping up for a last-second tackle.
The Parents Player was Sammy, who pulled off some big saves to keep us in the game and did plenty to put off the attack when they were clear on goal, including a slide tackle in the box!
What a great finish to a tough season, boys. You came to the party with big performances against some tough teams. Well done!
