| The Albion had a very good result last night,
we beat Edexcel 6-2 in a game where we rarely looked anything
other than comfortable. Joss got our first after a good move down
the right in what was to prove a pattern for the game - when we
passed and kept it simple as likely as not we made a goal scoring
opportunity. With the score 1-0 at half time the Reds looked solid
at the back and were definitely winning the midfield battle with
James dropping back to help out. |
| Edexcel got one back soon after the break but
James got us ahead soon afterwards, he beat several men and sensibly
ignored my shouts to square the ball and finished well. Sean scored
with a header a few minutes later, Edexcel got another to make
it 3-2 then James restored our two goal buffer after typically
good movement from Jim and Will down the left. He completed his
hat trick a few minutes later, and was also unlucky not to get
four with a long range effort that pinged off the post across
the goal. The icing on the cake was provided by Aidan when he
calmly took the ball round the keeper for number six. |
| Everyone played well for the win, Mark B and
Rob organised the defence well while Ken made some superb last
ditch tackles, Irish Pete and Will got forward to good effect
but also covered at the back. We looked best when playing the
ball down the wings, Jim and Sean both worked to good effect,
Aidan and Rich provided most of that creative spark in spotting
their runs in the first place. And both strikers held the ball
up well and also scored themselves. Man of the match is James
who had a great game, in the thick of everything which is great
for a forward as well as taking his chances in style. |
| The team (4-4-2 r-l): Rob; Irish
Pete, Ken, Mark B, Will (c); Sean (MH Pete 75), Aidan, Rich, Jim;
James, Joss (Mark S 75) |
