After a three week break, it took a bit of time for Recreativo to get going. And after conceding with a minute to go until half time we wondered if the boys would rise to the second half challenge. But they came out and began to take the game by the scruff of the neck, challenging and winning every ball, pushing forward like a cavalry in full charge. Ekow, once again, was charging through brick walls. However, a little bit more distribution, bringing others into play, would have been a better choice at times.
Coming back from 1-0 down to go 2-1 up seemed to go to our heads as the game opened up with everyone charging forward. It allowed Iseldon back in, who scored a couple of fortunate goals on the break, getting level with us and then reclaiming the lead.Still, we can't fault the boys for once again putting in a 100% effort against a team who possibly had a slight physical edge over us. Despite the result we can look back on some excellent flowing football, particularly in the second half. Hard luck lads.
Team: Cal Fitzgerald-McShane, Jem O'Flaherty, Freddie Semper, Stanley Billson-Smith, Ritchie Madden, Sal Whitehead, Aaron Benjamin, Ekow Coker. Subs: Felipe Restrepo, Jackson Merrells, Rory Hart.
