Match Report 28th
January 07
Euxton played some
good football in very windy conditions to win this match
comfortably. Playing with the wind on their backs they were
ahead after 2 minutes when Chris followed up from inside the
box when the keeper palmed away a free kick.
On 9 minutes a good
corner from Craggy resulted in 2 attempts being blocked
before Connor finished with a half volley. Then on 13
minutes Josh delivered a good ball into the box and Craggy
met the clearance to the edge of the box with a well-timed
drive (nice because we had worked on that at training).
On 20 minutes Josh
beat the offside trap and went in bravely against the
goalkeeper to lob the ball into the net. On 22 minutes Chris
broke down the right played a one two with Connor and broke
into the box before laying it on a plate to Connor to
finish. It was good football.
We were 6 –0 up at
half time after Josh scored from just outside the box in the
last minute of the half.
At half time the
match was over as a contest but we wanted to make some
changes to positions as well as concentrating on passing and
moving.
8 minutes into the
second half Josh, Chris and Connor combined really well to
create a chance for Connor inside the box, which he took
well to complete his hat trick.
A minute later a
clearance to the edge of the area, was met by James G who
hit the ball back over the keeper’s head to score. Two
minutes later the keeper parried a shot from Lewis and Chris
pounced to finish with a firm shot.
Chris completed his
hat trick and a strong display when he carried the ball into
the area and scored with a well-placed shot.
Josh completed the
hat trick of hat tricks on the day when after a run by
Johnny and a cross from Steven he finished well from the
six-yard line.
There was just time
for Craggy to top a Man of the Match performance (awarded
for great play and a mature response to some provocation) to
hit a great drive from outside of the area into the top
corner.
For
the record Matty touched the ball twice and stood freezing
in his goal – he should just about be thawed out for
Thursday training.
