Match Report – 6th February 2010

Purley Julibee Reds  1 – 0  Purley Jubilee

Our first game of 2010 & it’s against our Purley rivals. Our last meeting ended in 1-1 draw so both teams were eager for a win this time round.

The Blues started off strong but the Reds fought back & it was end to end play. A debatable penalty was awarded to the Reds for a questionable tackle/dive & a well taken spot kick gave the Reds the lead. An excellent header from Luke Thompson, just seconds before the half time whistle, unfortunately went just wide.

The Blues battled hard in the second half & had some good shots at goal but unfortunately the Reds goalkeeper made some equally good saves. Shaun Barnes & Luke Thompson were replaced by Luke Fifield & Charlie Peppett for a last push forward but luck wasn’t on our side & the Reds got their first win against the Blues.

The Fair Play award went to Harry Young.
