It seems like ages since our last game, but everyone is raring to go as we piled into the dressing rooms and sat around for the team talk. Everyone's up for this one, this fixture never fails to excite both the players and spectators - two teams who like to pass the ball around. And tonight's match lives up to all expectations. Soccerscool seem to have it drilled into them to play neat one, two-touch passing for which they should be applauded. However, Recreativo are equal to this style of play, but with the added strength of Ekow Coker (a mini Drogba at times!) spearheading a very quick counter attack. He scored six tonight, but offered more than just goals as he created plenty of chances for the rest of our boys.
Marlais played some deft passes, brilliant through balls to our front man and grabbed a fantastic volley with the outside of his boot early on. Felipe acted like a pivot in midfield, stylish play that opened up more attacks from Recreativo. With Sal opening his scoring account for the season with two great goals and Stanley getting up the pitch to get his first goal of the season, it became a bit of a rout. However, hats off to our opposition who didn't let their heads drop and kept chipping away at us.
Our best performance of the season so far, with goals coming from everywhere, the team really working hard for each other and everyone keeping to what we had asked them to do. Hats off to you lads!
Team: Cal Fitzgerald-McShane, Stanley Billson-Smith, Sal Whitehead, Jem O'Flaherty, Aaron Benjamin, Ritchie Madden, Marlais Brown, Ekow Coker. Subs: Felipe Restrepo, Freddie Semper
