Weather wise it was a fantastic day to play football, but our start to the game got off on the wrong foot when we conceded a goal following a corner after 3mins, (a problem we had during the whole game), the pitch was firm to say the lease and the ball spent most of the game in the air, and following our first time of stringing a few passes together we equalised on the 25th minute with Lewis Henshall scoring his first goal for the team. However another defensive lapse on 37 minutes gave the visitors a half time lead.
Second half got off to a disasterous start when a clearence from the goalkeeper bounced on the previously mentioned firm pitch and found its was into our goal, the lads didn’t really recover from this set back and following a late corner we conceded another a goal to go in at full time on the wrong end of a 4-1 result.

Managers Thought’s
We came up against a really Strong well organised football team today, and sometimes you have to put your hands up and admit it. The positives to come out of this match was the debut of Danny and Jack, and the big plus is that at the start of the season this would have been a much heavier defeat, but the boys are working hard in training, and on match days and i cant ask for more than that.
