The match lasted the full 70 minutes plus added time, with Tattenhoe Greens running out comfortable 4-0 victors over their opponents.

Tattenhoe Greens lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, deploying four defenders across the backline to provide solidity and width.

Unfortunately, no substitutes were named for either side ahead of the match.

The first half saw Tattenhoe Greens assert their dominance early on, controlling possession and pressing high up the pitch.

The half-time whistle arrived at 35 minutes, with Tattenhoe Greens already in a commanding position.

In the second half, Tattenhoe Greens intensified their attacking efforts, resulting in a flurry of goals that sealed the match decisively. Their forward line capitalised on the chances created by the attacking midfielders, demonstrating clinical finishing and composure in front of goal. Stoke Hammond Knights struggled to respond, unable to penetrate the Greens’ well-drilled defence or mount any meaningful attacks.

Throughout the match, Tattenhoe Greens displayed a cohesive team performance, with each player fulfilling their role within the 4-2-3-1 system effectively. The defensive line remained resolute, the midfield controlled the game’s rhythm, and the attacking players combined well to produce a comprehensive 4-0 victory. Stoke Hammond Knights were left searching for answers as the Greens celebrated a thoroughly deserved triumph on home soil.
