Sat Feb 20th  v Maidenhead Pythans,  Jubilee 4 Pythans 0

This was a game between two teams that progressed together from the lower leagues into the big one. Last season we were on the end of a 6-0 drubbing, so we were keen to gain our second victory over the Pythans. As the game started it didnt seem likely that was going to be the case as we started slowly and the Pythans didnt. The forward was a real threat and we were giving away to much space and not shutting down quickly enough. The game hinged on a couple of missed chances from Maidenhead in the first period, if they had gone in it could have been a different game. However when you have a forward like Brendan in your ranks you always have half a chance and as the half wore on, he duly obliged by beating the defender and crashing home the opening goal 1-0 half time. The team talk was rather stern and the boys were told that they had to start competing and play with a bit of desire before they could play their football. We had a fantastic response, they started to win first and second balls and got it into Brendan, who caused havoc in the Pythans defence, completing a well deserved hatrick, the other goal coming from an og. We can match anyone on any given day but just need to find some consistency in our performances.

Man of match Craig Chadwick- for sticking to his task
