Finally a win, and a convincing one at that. Archie wasn't at training on Saturday as we were celebrating Charlie's birthday with friends. Archie was told that training on Saturday was concentrated mainly on passing.
Archie started the game as the lone striker with Lewis P on the right, Harry F in the middle and Adam on the left. Harry C and James were playing at the back and Louis K was back in goal.
The first half was a very tight one. It could really have gone either way but Evergreen did have more chances. Archie spent the half putting untold pressure on the defence and was denied a long range effort by a well timed tackle. Lewis P and Harry F had a few digs at goal too but nothing came of them. James and Harry C were kept busy at the back and Louis made a couple of good saves. There was a great opportunity for us to open the scoring when Archie broke through the midfield and defence and crossed to Harry F who's shot only just went wide.
The boys were given an extra push at half-time and told not to give up. I made a comment to Archie's Grandad who was watching that if we ended up losing this game as well, it just isn't meant to be! For the second half Archie was moved to left midfield and Harry F was played upfront, although Archie, Lewis P, Adam & Harry F were attacking all half. Arch played a blinder in the second half and created 2 of Harry F's goals. The first was a flick on from a goal kick and the second was pass through the defence. Lewis P bagged himself a goal, dinking his way through midfielders and defenders and smashing home, and Harry F got a third. It was a shame that Archie couldn't get on the score sheet but like i said before he played a blinder and was instrumental... in fact, the whole team was awesome. Louis K in goal kept a clean sheet, James & Harry C kept Comets away from goal for the most part and the midfield and strike force showed just how potent they can be.
GOALS: Harry F (3), Lewis P (1)
This wins means that we have qualified for the next round of the League Intermediate Cup but have to play-off against Comets to decide on who comes 1st and who comes 2nd (goal difference doesn't count).
Next weekend Archie and Evergreen Juniors face Tornado JSC Black in a league game. Hopefully the boys will be itching to get on the pitch and carry on with their winning ways.
