A cold, damp and miserable Sunday morning and the pitch wasn't much cop either, part pitch - part bog!.
Archie had not played against Kings Langley at their ground before today and I was very surprised to see that they insisted that the boys play on a full size adult pitch complete with full sized adult goals. The kids looked lost. Archie started the game as a forward alongside Kian. The match, as it was last week, was very tight and the first half saw only a handful of chances for both teams. Archie managed to beat the offside trap a couple of times but met his match again with the same massive kid marking him. We went in half time at 0-0.
The second half was much the same as the first but with more opportunities at goal. Kings Langley scored a lucky goal. The ball was lofted into the air and literally bounced too high for CC to catch. 1-0. Our boys battled, Archie came very close on a couple of occasions but was then subbed for 5 minutes. When he came back on he was put into central midfield, then moved to left wing. Archie came close to scoring again with a fantastic run down the wing and into the box taking on 4 or 5 defenders. He smashed the ball across the goal but the keeper saved. We attacked for the last 5 minutes of the game and again Archie had the ball saved on the line by the keeper.
Man of the Match was awarded to JJ for his bull dozing runs through midfield. I thought that Elliot in defence had an excellent game along with CC in goal.
