Today, Archie took part in his first game of the season. Last years fixture saw him score a hatrick as won comfortably 3-1. Last week the opposition won their opening game 8-0 so it looked like today's game was going to be a difficult encounter. Not so!
Archie started the game upfront alongside James S. Both were looking to open their accounts. The first goal came after 5mins. Archie played a lovely through ball to eventual man of the match Ricc who slotted the ball home easily. 1-0. Not long after, he added another this time from distance. 2-0. Archie had a few darting runs down the left flank and was causing trouble resulting in the Ricky manager changing his marker. We went in at half time with a 2 goal lead but the game was not one sided at all.
The second half was a completely different game, it was all Herons. Some lovely football was played and the third goal came after captain Liam had whipped in yet another brilliant corner which rebounded off an unfortunate Ricky defender and into the back of the net. 3-0. Archie could have scored 3 goals but was very unlucky, so too was CC. The fourth was scored by Dan. A loose ball found it's way to his feet and all he had to do was poke it in... which he did. 4-0. The finishing scoreline could easily have been double figures in favour of us but most didn't have their shooting boots on!
It looked as though Ricky turned up thinking that this game would be a walk in the park after their result last week but they certainly got a wake up call.
GOALS: Ricc (2), OG (1) & Dan (1)
Next week see's us heading to Knebworth for the County cup. Archie will not be able to make the game though and also won't be able to make the following 3 games. It's a long wait until he plays again.
