A magnificent performance from everyone on the park today. Bowburn couldn’t really compete with our passing and movement.
Toby, Ewan and Jack were solid at the back, offering an outlet to Joe who pulled the strings in middle of the park spraying the ball wide to the wings. Harvey on the left and Zak on the right ran the wings making great runs and putting in some great crosses. Luke terrorised their defence by not giving them a second on the ball and broke up their play before they got started.
The first goal came from some great link up play between Joe and Harvey. Joe crossed the ball into the box leading to a goal mouth scramble. Luke’s persistence paid off and he scored from close range. The second was very similar, a cross into the box from Joe and another close range finish from Luke. Luke almost completed his hatrick in the first half only to be beaten by the post.
Jay came on for the second half for Jack. Jay took up the central midfield role and Joe dropped to centre back. Harvey and Zak swapped wings. We again dominated the possession.
Harvey got the first goal of the second half. After a great team move the ball fell to Harvey in the box who finished well with a low drive into the bottom corner.
Jack came back on to replace Luke upfront to give him a breather.
It was a another spell on great possession that lead to the fourth goal. Jay passed the ball back to Ewan after there was no available options upfront. Ewan squared the ball to Joe who cut the defence in half with a great long diagonal ball to Harvey who had made a run down the right wing. Harvey then hit a great strike which forced their keeper to parry. Joe who had followed up his pass was on hand to tap in the rebound.
Luke game back on with 5 minutes to go and came close to completing his first hatrick of the season but it wasn’t to be.
The fifth goal came from Joe again. He hit another long diagonal cross intended for Harvey who was making his run into the box. However this time the ball flew straight over the keepers head into the top corner.
The best team performance so far and the season has only just begun. Well done boys
