On a day more fit for polar bears the boys never really warmed up or got going.

Great Wakering from the off were more mobile, however despite having the lion share of possession did not look like scoring in the first half. The team talk at half time did not do the trick and the boys seemed to lose their shape and discipline even more in the second half. Great Wakering become more organised and pressed for goal.

Matthew Wright (goal keeper) made a brave effort coming of his line to part block the advances of a Great Wakering player's run and shot on goal only to see the ball deflect of his body, over his head, and to see two Forest players help the ball over their own line in the confusion as to who was to clear it. A further freakish goal due to the windy conditions followed and we were two down.

Some heads did drop. Luke Mackie however never gave up, tackling back and driving forward in the midfield on surging runs. Unfortunately he lacked the support his efforts deserved.

Well played to Great Wakering who handled the conditions very well and unlucky to the Forest boys, hopefully we will get back to winning ways soon.

Thanks again to the parents/supporters for all their support on what was a extremely cold day.
