This was a very close match and was a relief to win; otherwise I would not have been able to live with the gloating my brother would have done.
The first half was tight with BOTN scoring to go 1 – 0 up. Paul then scored a superb shot into the top corner, the keeper (my brother) didn’t even move. BOTN should have scored more in the first half, put their apparent lack of shooting ability meant that we only went into half time at 1 – 1.
The second half started badly with us conceding 3 goals to go 4 – 1 down. We worked hard and with 6 minutes to go, we moved up a gear and scored 4 more goals. Paul got his 2nd, Andy beat 2 players to score 1 of his 2 and I scored a volley. This was a mixture of brilliance and a complete breakdown of the BOTN defence. Justice was done with Paul’s 2nd goal a minute from time, it meant we took the lead for the first time in the match and won the game.
Overall this was a well deserved victory that we nicked at the end the game. We deserved this victory as we were the better team on the night, but to be fair it was cruel how we beat them. This could be the prompt for a promotion push. |
