Scary Movie                 Wednesday 30^th August 2006 ____________________________________________________________________

Our final friendly against a team from the ‘A’ division.  We still had players missing, but only a few.  We had had a close game against these at the end of last season, and we wanted to see if we had improved.  The usual captains returned.  We still had problems with the Dictaphone, so unfortunately this is just the goals, the line up and the final scores, sorry!

 

Game 1 - The line up was:

 

Sam B

 

Jack     Joel

 

Josef     Josh     Tom

 

Joe

 

We won a corner so the routine we had been working on was tried and actually worked.  As the ball came in from Joe, Josh attacked the middle and the ball came off of his shoulder, high into the back of the net 0-1.

 

HALF-TIME : KEYNSHAM     0     FRYS     1

 

The second half saw us piling on even more pressure and a long throw from Joe, which had caused them all sorts of problems in the game wasn’t cleared properly and Josh pounced on the loose ball to hit it home 0-2.

 

FULL-TIME : KEYNSHAM     0     FRYS     2

 

 

Game 2 - The line up was:

 

Joby

 

Sam B     Spike

 

Jim     Sam K     Max

 

Chilly

 

Rolling Sub:  Dan

 

They went a lot stronger in the second game and we were slow to wake up.  They attacked down their right and crossed it.  Jim tried to clear it, but only succeeded in turning over Joby and into the net 1-0.  Sam B was then last man with the ball at his feet and tried to beat the two attackers.  He beat the first, but couldn’t do it twice and they were in on Joby giving him no chance 2-0.  We gave away a free kick on their right quite a way out which they elected to shoot.  Joby got behind it, but it caught him in the stomach and winded him, and he was unable to hold onto it.  Our team stood and watched as their attacker reacted instantly 3-0.

 

HALF-TIME : KEYNSHAM     3     FRYS     0

 

The last goal was the final insult.  We threw caution to the wind trying to get back into the game and were always susceptible to the counter-attack.  They did so and a Keynsham player hit it towards our goal from the half-way line.  It was Cameron against Joby.  Cameron ran across the ball to take it around Joby but missed the ball totally.  Joby went with Cameron as that is where the ball was going to go, and he missed it as well, and the pass from the half-way line trickled in to the back of the net 4-0!

 

FULL-TIME : KEYNSHAM     4     FRYS     0

 

 

OVERALL RESULT : KEYNSHAM     4     FRYS     2

 

Afterthoughts…………………………………………………

After the euphoria of the first game, we were all a bit deflated.  They definitely went stronger in the second game, but a lot of our players had their worst game for a long time and Keynsham were able to turn the result around after we had played so brilliantly in the first game.
