Ramblers hold on against The Glade!

We were confident going into the game after last week’s tremendous performance and result.

Today’s was a hard fought match in difficult conditions.

We started the match against a strong wind, and the Ramblers seemed to make the most of this advantage. Both goals came from drop kicks which evaded all defenders for the striker to run onto and give Oliver no chance for each goal. Oliver made a great save to keep the score at 2-0. We still had the lions share of possession and created good chances from the flanks to get on the score sheet, however luck did not go our way. Most teams could have given up at 2 goals down, however the boys have a great sense of belief and determination.

The second half was a totally different matter, I could not recall Oliver touching the ball or the defence needing to do a great deal.  We were camped inside the Ramblers half. Perry scored two poached goals within the first four minutes of the half, both made by Shaun and you sensed a third goal was not far away. We created so many chances and Ramblers seemed to be hanging on by the skin of their teeth. We hit the post, crossbar and did everything we could but score the third goal.

That’s football though and you cannot win every game, we could be disappointed not to have won but at least we got a point and did not lose. Things could easily have been so much different.

Another great performance and we look forward to the next game. Well done to all the boys.
