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.
