Forest Weather the Storm

The game was played in awful conditions with a pounding wind and driving rain.

The previous day we had 14 players available and overnight we lost 3 players to sickness and injury and as a result we had to shuffle the team about, with some players in positions that they would not ordinarily have been used too.

James came in at right back and did an excellent job and his Man of the Match award was well deserved for his efforts. Lloyd played at centre back and was not far behind James in being Man of the Match. Danny & Tom were productive where they needed to be. Oli seemed to be a spectator by and large, but I certainly would have preferred to have been out on the pitch than standing on the sidelines.

Due to the weather Supreme were hardly able to get out of their own half in the first half and we created chance after chance. The first goal was a beauty from Shaun as the keeper took a goal kick, Shaun returned the kick with interest and the ball floated over the keeper and into the net, 1-0 to the Forest!

Charlie then had what looked a perfectly good goal disallowed after the keeper spilled a shot for offside.

We had a feeling Supreme would come out a different side in the second half, with the wind, but we were on top of our game and continued with the same effort that we had in the first half. Within a minute of the re-start Charlie raced through and poked the ball under the keeper for a well taken goal 3-0.

10 minutes later Shaun got another with an expertly taken left footed shot which from one side of the 18 yard line which went across the keeper into the far corner 4-0!

We continued to have good possession and there were many instances and great play to note. Robert, Perry, Luke and Wayne all had great games and we came off at the end worthy winners.

Another great result against a team who have scored lots of goals. Well done to all the boys.
