Luton Leagrave v Hitchin Firesharks

Saturday, February 11 2006

Firesharks came up against a defence minded Leagrave today in what by our standards was not a good game to watch.

Firesharks had nearly all the possession with Leagrave relying on breaks which were superbly dealt with by Andy, Ethan and Kayne.  Ryan was not troubled in goal.
Passing was at times inaccurate today and the  boys seemed to rush things instead of controlling the ball , however it was extremely hard for them to break down Leagrave and when they did shots were either wide or saved.
 
On 43 minutes an excellent piece of play saw interchanged passes between Nick and Joe F which saw Joe move into the box and slot a good goal calmly inside the right post.  It was what we deserved given the amount of possession we had -  otherwise the game seemed to be heading towards 'stalemate'.
 
Ryan hardly had a save to make, Kayne and Andy had Leagraves strikers in their pockets.  Ethan swapped between defence and midfield easily, Dom worked very hard today on his return as did Joe M and Nick in their midfield roles.  Joe F played as attack and screened the ball well with some silky lay offs to his midfield partners.
 
A break for half term now - much needed - but an excellent run boys.........still top of the league and unbeaten.
 
Result  Luton Leagrave  0  Hitchin Firesharks  1 (Joe F)
