A much better display from Mulbarton (who are still struggling for
players)
A new line up saw Pastie starting in goal and he gave a solid
performance tipping a few shots over the bar. Rory was determined to put
himself about especially in the first half and scored within a few
minutes-the game looked at least even at this stage but the boys thought
they could win it and rightly so. There was good work a rate from most
of the team but unfortunately we don't have the players to substitute
tired players or ones that don't perform on the day. An equaliser then
followed and another taking watton to a 2-1 lead at half time.
The second half saw us pressurising for another goal and a weak
clearance from a Mulbarton corner saw Zach bring the ball down just
outside the 18 yard box and then rifle it into the top right corner. At
this point we had the momentum and if we had more strength in depth we
would have finished them off but we tired and made some errors-namely
not attacking another corner effectively and letting Watton score on the
break.
Two more players and we could challenge anyone in the league. man of
the match pastie -kept us in the game for most of it!

Last season the south Norfolk league was dominated by Rocklands and
Harling. This season they opted for the harder Norfolk league and one of
those teams will win it. Harling's ground was impressive and they play
on a FULL SIZE pitch with ADULT goals, they also know how to utilise
that extra space. High looping shots stranded the keeper and all of
their players were of a good standard. Angus was left isolated up front
and he and Christian had to come back to midfield to find the ball. The
difference with this match was the boys work rate-it was mostly
excellent. Connor was strong and worked hard, so did Aaron who was
carrying an injury. Pastie was his usual battling self and bravely kept
goal in the second half. Cam and Dion were workaholics and were shining
examples to the others. We need them all to show the same enthusiasm as
Pastie Cam and Dion and in every game.
We also need new players so the ones who don't work hard will have
to earn their place. I know we have a few in the academy but if anyone
can help then please do. We also need a sponsor for a new kit and wet
weather gear so again any help will be appreciated.
Cam Lee was man of match.

The first home game saw us given a tough football lesson by a good
side. A slow start saw us let in early goals. But some good saves,
blocks and clearances from Rory and the defence saw an improvement on
last week. Our attack had few chances but on another day we would have
got some reward for our efforts.
The second half saw a better effort from several players both full
backs had busy games Connor battled well. Cam showed big effort in the
way he chased and harassed. Zack made some good tackles and blocks.
Man of the match today was Rory who made countless good saves and
shouted to wake his team mates up.
Let's hope we start next weeks game with the same effort and desire
we showed at the end of today's game.
If you all put 100% into the game the coaches and parents don't mind
what the score is if you've tried.

A couple of late injuries to two key players saw us down to the wire
before kick off. However we can't make excuses for such a poor
performance. After 5 minutes we all thought Jex were there for the
taking, the only weapon in their arsenal was the long ball. Our boys
with a few marginal exceptions were afraid to put tackles in, put heads
on the ball and in essence didn't want to win as much as Jex.
If they play like they do in a kick about after training then that
apathy is not to be found.
Well done Angus for battling with an injury a shining example to the
others.
