Blacks returned to winning ways
with a much improved performance . In particular the first
half demonstrated that with hard work and good passing,
football can be a rewarding game. Goals from Luke , Daniel
and Matthew made the score 3-0 at half time and Euxton
thoroughly deserved it.
We made changes at half time to continue the rotation in the
squad and , not because of the players who came on , more
down to a number of changes of position , plus a much more
determind Pirates team , Euxton lost the initiative and
conceded two soft goals that made the Euxton
supporters nervous on the touchline. We had a 10 min spell
when Ben and Aeden were left with 3 or 4 runners coming at
them at times and it took some determined defending and two
goal line clearances from Ben to keep Euxtons lead. At the
other end we missed chances to ease the nerves until some
good passing sent Daniel clear and he beat the defender and
then goalkeeper with aplomb.
A thoroughly deserved win because ,apart from 10 mins,
Euxton were the better side. With all of the squad getting
game time we will surely get better still. Above all more
effort was put in today and the rewards came. Great to see
smiles on the faces at the end.
Special mention to Dylan - whatever he has for breakfast
works wonder. He covered every blade of grass on the pitch
and should be proud of his contribution to the team today.
