Garden Village 0 Marchwiel Utd 5

Following a number of months with no competitive games it was great for the boys to be back doing what they do best..... playing football.


Despite having no games for some time, both teams started the match in a slightly tentative way with both teams getting some success in the opposition's half.  As possession was relatively equal it was on 20 minutes that saw the dead-lock broken.  With plenty of space being offered by the home-side down the flanks, Jonnah received the ball into space down the left and quickly broke into the area.  His sweet strike across the keeper saw the ball strike the far post and rebounding into the net. 1 Nil.

Some good possession followed, with pressure being applied to the home side's goal.  Following a half clearance and the keeper out of position, the ball broke to Kizza who saw a half chance.  With great technique, Kizza struck the ball from 20 yards which saw the ball strike the net, in what could only be described as the only place it could have gone in.  2 Nil at half time.

The second half saw more possession from the away team with a change of personnel up front.  'Nobbler' quickly got to work up front applying pressure to every loose ball.  Following good work from Ryan the ball was played to Nobbler to pick up his first goal of the season.  3 Nil.

Although 3 goals to the good, the home team did not give up or let their heads go down and did not let Marchwiel have it all their own way.  Despite their efforts the ball broke again down the flanks to Jonah who quickly made his way into a striking position.  Another left foot strike saw the away team extend their advantage. 4 Nil.

With the game near the final whistle, another attack saw Ryan and Ellis produce some great work down the right flank.  With their fine work causing defenders to be pulled out of position, the ball was crossed to an un-marked 'Nobbler', who neatly slotted home for his second of the game. 5 Nil. 

A great team effort by all players, despite being a few regular starters down.  Garden Village were a very organised and physical team which took a very good performance to over come.  Well done boys..... you never let the long break of no football have any affect.  Be proud of yourselves boys.... you deserve your place in the semi final.
