The
ball flew into the box which Joby fisted down and Mark cleared.
It then came back in and Josef cleared well.
Josh passed to Joe, he hit it cross-field to Josef and out to Josh,
some good play. We had a throw,
which was taken by Callum to Josef, and then down the line to Ethan.
He turned and shot in, but the ‘keeper saved low at his feet.
A dangerous ball flew into our area, Mark brought it down and Callum
casually laid it back to Joby. Another
ball came in, and Callum cleared twice. It
was then crossed in and Josh cleared for a corner.
The corner came in and both Callum and Mark tried to clear.
It broke loose into the melee and Joby dived on it well.
Callum then went down the line, cut inside and back to Josh who crossed
it in to Joe but he was tackled for corner to us.
They
broke from the corner, both Callum and Mark tried to stop but somehow he was
able to get the shot away and beat Joby low 1-0.
A hard ball then flew in, Joby got his hand to it, Mark blocked, then
Ethan, then Joby again before Ethan cleared for a corner.
They then had three open goals but we threw everything in the way.
A high ball flew into our area and Joby got his hand to it, but it went
the wrong way and Mark cleared off of the line.
A high cross in, Joby caught it with one hand and then pulled it into
his body – well held! Joe ran
down the line, we thought he had taken too long but he got the cross in and
Jim put it just the wrong side of the post.
Jack and Josef combined well, but then their player ran into the box
and Joby out with his feet to make the block.

Josef
picked up the ball halfway, ran towards goal and at the last minute laid the
ball inside to Jim running in, and he dinked the ball through to Joe
unmarked, who buried it into the bottom right hand corner 1-1.
Great attacking play by a combination of Jim, Josh & Ethan led to a
goal kick to them, but the actual build up attack was excellent to watch.
Jack picked up the ball on the edge of our area and ran to the edge of
theirs unchallenged before crossing in and Ethan volleyed goal-wards only to
see it deflected for a corner. Back
at our end and Jim won the ball in our area, ran the length of the field
before threading a great pass to Josh. Josh
tried to go high over the ‘keeper with his shot but it was just too high.
They attacked down the line and shot hard, but Joby made a great save.
Jim won the ball, passed down the line to Josh who turned inside to
Ethan and just saw it cut out by their ‘keeper.
A long ball from Joby to Josh, he crossed it to Ethan who passed to Jim
and his shot was saved by the ‘keeper for a corner.
A Keynsham shot flew in, which Joby parried down and then both Jack
& Joby reacted very quickly to deflect a shot from only a yard out, over
the bar. Jim then passed wide to
Mark, down the line to Josh, inside to Joe who went slightly wide and the
‘keeper was able to push it away for a corner.
A big kick from Joby came to Joe on the halfway line, he sidestepped a
player and from twenty yards hit a thunderbolt which their ‘keeper managed
to get his fingertips to and push over the bar.
Joe then had a shot, parried to Josh, and blocked for a corner, but the
ref’ blew full-time.

Jamie
G
Oscar
Sam B
Dan
Luke G Spike
Sam
K
Rolling
Subs: Tom & Luke A
Luke
G threw to Sam K, and he unleashed a spectacular shot just wide.
Great tackling by Oscar made sure they were kept out.
At this point however, it was noted that We were going forward leaving
Sam B & Oscar on their own! Sam
B tackled but fell, and whilst Oscar watched they went for the ball but Jamie
got it. We attacked but lost it
and it was four against Sam B & Oscar.
Oscar stood back and they shot, Jamie waved a leg at it but missed 1-0.
Keynsham attacked twice through us but both times Jamie made good saves
with his feet.
Tom
won the ball and bulldozed through four players before getting the ball to Sam
K whose shot was deflected up high. As
it came down, Dan got to it knocking it backwards towards Spike.
He came inside a player and Luke A hit it hard but was deflected wide
for a corner. From a twenty yard
shot, Jamie made a great save but the ball dropped loose in the area.
None of our players moved, but luckily Jamie reacted fast and was able
to dive on it. We attacked but as
with before, lost the ball and then left 3v1 against Oscar.
They went past him and with Jamie opting to stay on his line beat him
from close range 2-0.

Tom
won it by our line, ran down the pitch past four players and his shot was
saved by the ‘keeper onto the post – so unlucky!
Tom got it again, ran forwards and did a 1-2 with Spike before seeing
his shot saved. Tom again went
down the line, passed inside to Sam K, who went past a player but the
‘keeper was there to stop Sam’s shot.
The ball came to Sam B but he was unable to control it and it came to a
Keynsham player. His shot hit the
post, came back in and then went in off of Jamie 3-0.
Tom went down the line past three players, passed to Sam K inside but
his shot was narrowly wide. A
shot came in from Keynsham, which Tom headed over, but the ref’ blew for
full time before they could take it.

I
made a mistake on this game, putting an extra defender in the first game when
we didn’t need it. Had any of
the three defenders gone in the second game then Oscar & Sam wouldn’t
have been left so exposed at times, and with a bit of luck in front of goal,
we could have had 8 or 9 goals overall.
