In a game that we knew was going to be our hardest test to date the boys did us proud and never dropped their heads.

A delayed start, slopping pitch, questionably refereeing decisions (only joking), and a physically bigger opposition could make it sound like sour grapes, being its our first defeat or the type of excuses Sir Alex would come up with.

On a more serious note the boys never stop battling away with the tackles flying in fairly from all angles. Elmwood managed to take advantage of two minor mistakes in the first half to go two up, but the boys heads did not drop. Unfortunately we were unable to take full advantage of the slopping pitch in the second half, with the clock ticking down, and the game becoming more stretched the three or four chances to get a consolation goal which would of made for an interesting last few minutes did not come.

Whilst disappointed the team talk after the game showed that the boys had enjoyed the experience and the fact the Elmwood two previous wins had  been by larger margins showed that Forest gave a good account of themselves and were able to leave the field with their heads held high.

Well done to the boys for an honest and battling performance and thanks again to the parents/supporters for all your support and encouragement.
