Goal: A Lo Surdo

On paper this looked like a very evenly contested match which the score line proved, Even though I thought we handed them 2 points. This was a game we should have taken maximum points. But instead we have to share the points with a team I don’t think deserved points on the day.

Both teams started of a bit slow but we got the upper hand and had most of the possession and chances in the last 20 mins of the first half. A great goal to Alison gave us a 1 nil lead at half time.

We should have started the second half just as we finished the first but that wasn’t to be. I have to say it was one of our worst 45 mins this year. The only thing we can take away from that half of football was our defence which worked hard to keep the score line at just one.

Lets hope we all learn from this result. We need to be switched on for the whole 90 mins too be assured of these points which are so valuable.
