Back Of The Net FC Team Page

This match was a tight match against my brothers team as always (not including there previous 11 - 1 thrashing).

The match started very tightly with both teams knowing that with victory, came a huge chance of promotion depending on the other result. Both teams weren’t giving much away, with the opening goal coming from James C who bundled it in the net. They responded through Billy to quickly equalise, before my right foot shot after one touch passing, from Paul to Andy to James to me, trickled in past Steve to give us the lead. At half time we were on top in this grudge match.

The 2nd half started the same as first with both teams tight at the back, we were the first to concede this half after a goal from Billy, but Paul again gave us the lead with a decent strike. We holding on to our slender advantage, before poor marking by myself let Martin in to rattle a equalising goal with 6 minutes to go. From then on it was even tighter with both teams knowing that one mistake good cost the match. The winning goal came form a free kick; after James sweetly struck the ball, it took 2 deflections and rolled between Steve’s legs (Beckham-esque almost).

Overall a very good performance against BOTN, but as the other result didn’t go our way the result meant we finished in 3rd place.

SS 2 - BOTN FC 2 4th Sept 2006

This week we played BOTN FC in the 1st game of the season, which must be fate.

The 1st half was a tight affair with BOTN having the majority of the attacking possession. They in fact opened the scoring when Paul lost his man after a through ball and Tony finished calmly. The rest of this half we defended sufficiently and restricted them to few clear cut chances. We managed to equalise after Fung went in for a crunching challenge in their half, for the ball to go loose in front of him. He then went and slotted it in coolly.

In the 2nd half we played the same as the first and although they created chances, most of them were blasted wide, with the exception of Graham C & Steve, which called Dave into action (Dave had a cracking game). BOTN FC took the lead at the beginning of the half, but we responded almost instantly after a delicate long ball by me (hoof up the field aimlessly), landed on Paul’s foot to volley home.

Overall a decent performance and 1 more point than I though we would score this season. Next week hopefully we can build on this.

Season 16

SS 0 - BOTN FC 4 25th Sept 2006

This week we played Back of the Net FC in a match that was destined for a comfortable victory to the opposition. Our preparations were hindered with James S already not played (with his gf), then Paul McFadden (ankle injury) & Andy (with his gf) both pulling out on the morning on the match. Matt E came in to make up the 6.

To cut a long story short we were out played, cut apart and they had lots of shots on goal, scoring 4 of them. We showed some bright sparks but created very few genuine chances. Overall a fair result on the reflection of the game.

I can have no complaints about the result, we were just not good enough.
