| 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. Submitted by Tom Taylor | |||||

| Despite not playing competitive football for some weeks the boys were quickly into their stride against a very organised team. With having no problem in creating chances, the team had been working very hard over the past month on their shape and defending as a team. As coach i couldn't have been more proud. A solid defensive performance, with great effort by every man when the team was not in possession. When in possession all players played their part in creating many chances which saw both forwards picking up a hat-trick each. Jimmy and Ryan truly worked well together and on another day could easily have scored a double hat-trick. Despite scoring 3 each and missing numerous chances they never gave in on applying pressure to the opposition and working to create space for their team mates. Despite missing a few chances, Ryan produced an un-argued man of the match performance..... exceptional display of forward play..... WELL DONE RYAN. Goal of the day came from Josh, who following a bad clearance, produced a great strike from 20 yards to have the keeper reaching for fresh air. With a few lads playing out of position it was a great performance from the whole team. Well done boys..... thank you for the efforts you show to me, your parents, but most of all each other. Keep up your good work. Submitted by Tom Taylor | |||||
