“Their” match report:
Peckham Rye FC (David, Gareth Pete, Xavier, Joe, Kieran) Vs The Estate Agents
On a very wet November day we only managed to get 6 to turn up, bad show lads. We decided to play a 3 aside game until the Estate Agents arrived. Fortunately for us the estate agents were also short on numbers so we challenged them to a game. The Estate agents were a man down but they were up for it, unfortunately for them so were we. The game started a little tight as we struggle to get are passing going. The breakthrough came from a long throw to the back post from Pete which I happily volleyed in. The flood gate opened with goals from Xavier, Pete and Kieran soon making it 5 – 0. With David putting in a fine performance in at the back the Estate Agents were struggle to break through. They managed to get one back just before half time to keep things interesting. Half Time 5 – 1
Second half was pretty much the same with the extra man really making the difference. We continued to create chances with Xavier and Myself grabbing another goal each. They start started to put up a bit of a fight and scored a couple of goals 7 – 3. Then came the goal of the game, David broke out of defense beat two players and drilled a shot low and hard into the bottom right corner. It just clipped the post on the way in, great goal! With Joe now the only player to have not scored in our team he made it his sole purpose in life to get the ball in the back of the net. He’d already managed to hit the post, the crossbar and have one cleared of the line. It just wasn’t happening for him. He didn’t give up he kept the pressure on their defense and he final got his just deserts when he caught the defending napping and nicked in to score, at last. He immediately went up and field and scored again just for good measure. They scored a consolation just before then end and the game finished.
Final Score 10 – 5
Man of the match – David for some solid defending and a great goal
