The boys are in a buoyant mood as the big strike is looming and school is closed tomorrow. We thread our way along the streets around the Emirates, Arsenal and Man City fans hurrying to tonight's game, hands in pockets, braced against the chill. Every available parking space along Market Road has already been taken as council workers have taken over the street in readiness for Wednesday's industrial action - but we manage to squeeze into the very last spot and the lads pile out of the car and into the changing rooms.A strange game unfolds which sees us huff and puff, every player squeezed into the middle of the pitch chasing the ball like we are back in the infants! Thankfully Soulaiman finds the back of the net with a deft chip over the keeper and we go in at half time in front.
The second half is played out with the lads having found their feet, Soulaiman and Waiel linking up superbly.
Jaden has three clear chances, each which he sends wide (we all have our off days!) and despite a few more efforts on goal we seem to limp home to the final whistle, Regents having hardly any shots on our goal, but Recreativo nervous that only one goal is never really enough. Not the best performance but a sign of a good team that we still took the points and go back to the top of the division. Nice one.
Team: Milvydas Lukosius, Jaye Paul, George Wakefield, Soulaiman Osei-Bonsu, Jaden Stephenson, Storm Gregory, Sol Ruse, Waiel Hassan. Subs: Kobi Coker, Isaac Beck.
