Bedwell Rangers v Hitchin Town Bullets

Saturday, February 11 2006

So now it was the turn of the Bullets, with only 4 players today, the rest of the team had to be made up with Arrows. Harry had generously agreed to go in Goal, which allowed SamW to play out field in this match.

So the game kicked off.  We started the stronger team, with  Zach, Matthew and Sam W controlling midfield and Max upfront. We played hard with all team members doing their jobs. We had just got into their penalty area, when one of their players handled the ball, and we were awarded a penalty !  Sam W cooly and calmly slotted it away for our first goal 0-1 . David and Karl had little to do in defence, but dealt  with any attacks from Bedwell.. Harry also had little to do in goal  to start with. So as we pushed forward and kept Max busy, Sam W saw a second chance for a goal, which he took and put us 0-2 up.Bedwell then made a few changes and at half time saw us 2-2

The second half saw Bedwell start the stronger team,keeping Harry and the defence  very busy. Not long into the second half  Bedwell  took the lead with a third goal.Hitchin battled on , and kept their passing game going ,and tried very hard to  find a third goal  to equalize, but sadly this time it wasn't to be and 3-2 it ended.

Hitchin Bullets should be very proud of their performance today, against a very strong team. Better luck next time boys.

Final Score: Bedwell Rangers 3 Hitchin Town Bullets 2 (Sam W 2)

MOM  Max
