They then had a long shot, which was well saved by Joby.
Then there was a melee in the Bradley Stoke area and Joe
got final touch 0-1.
They came straight back at us though and shot inches wide.
Joby was then caught out of his goal by a quick attack and cross, but
Mark managed to clear the ball off of the line.
They then had a corner, well cleared by Josh!
Bradley Stoke kept up the pressure and attacked again and finally
scored 1-1.
Jim went off on a great run down the wing before crossing in, but no
one had kept up with him. James
tackled well and forced his way through three players before passing to Max
down the line. His shot was
blocked though. They then
attacked straight back and we struggled to get back leaving Joby exposed 2-1.

We
started the second half in very determined fashion with some great battling by
Max & Josef. Josh then went
on a great run down the right wing, but his shot was wide.
Bradley Stoke then broke through our defence, but we saw a good save by
Joby. They attacked again, and
this time it was Max back to clear the ball.
Their pressure eventually told however, and a low shot came flying
through the crowd leaving Joby unsighted 3-1.
Callum played a great ball to Max but they defended well.
Then both Callum & Max ran at them passing the ball but couldn’t
get the final shot away. Callum
was then back at our end keeping them out.
At the end Bradley Stoke hit a fierce shot which Joby tried to save,
the ball bounced loose and Mark cleared.
