Today Herons took on Leverstock Green Willows who were mid table at the start of the day. This was to be Archie's second of the season and his team mates have been running riot in his absence. He started the game upfront alongside James S.
The boys started very well and they just about had the run of the first half. Archie was working hard at putting the pressure on and had a few efforts on goal. Ricc was unlucky not to have opened the scoring after a sweet left footed volley was saved well by the Leverstock goal keeper. After a couple more opportunities JJ was on hand to tuck the ball away from close range after James S played in a low cross. 1-0.
After half time it was obvious that the opposition were tiring and our boys had plenty more stamina and took advantage. John scored the second, taking advantage of a loose ball and volleyed it in. 2-0. Liam was causing havoc with his corners putting them right in the mix. Sure enough we took advantage of the deliveries and Archie headed the ball into the back of the net to make it 3-0. By this time Leverstock were playing to keep the score down but Thomas made it four with a lovely toe poke. 4-0. Archie had a spell on the side lines then returned to play centre mid alongside Ricc and they played very well together impressing the coaches. Both boys can pick a pass out and are confident on the ball, this might be a position that Archie will find himself in a few more times this season.
Altogether a good game with some cracking football being played. Archie gelled well with the team and looked as though he's been playing with them all season.
GOALS: JJ (1), John (1), Archie (1) & Thomas (1)
Next week's opponents are Bovingdon Panthers Red who are currently unbeaten, scoring 38 and conceeding only 3 in the three games that they've played. It will be a difficult one for sure.
