Match Report - 17th November
Finlay A 2 - 1 Chubb
Finlay A, once again, managed to score an early goal from a well taken corner, and defend well through the first half to head into half time 1 - 0 up.
Chubb fought hard to break through their defence with some great shots at goal from Josh (who probably played his best game yet), Chris, Dan and Johnny, but despite the efforts of all the forwards in driving the ball up the pitch, we were unable to get past their defences.
Finlay regrouped at half time, and positioned themselves well again at the beginning of the second half to drive home another goal to put us 2 - 0 down. For most teams, this would have affected moral to the extent where they would never have stood a chance of coming back - but not for the Ilkley Chubbs. Finding some additional strength from somewhere, they ran into overdirve and took control of the match, with Dan finally getting our only goal from the half way line.
Defence once again require a special mention, with Tom, Michael, Seb, Luke and Jacob providing a solid wall which is proving very hard for any team to penetrate. Midfield with Dan, Josh and Chris have been doing a superb job keeping the ball moving up to Sam, Cameron and Johnny up front.
Our weakness at the moment is taking shots at goal - we seem to wait for the perfect opportunity to be presented. We need to take more chances and more shots at goal, defence is strong enough to stop any mishaps or retaliations from any failed attempts, but we have to make those shots.
Man of the Match went to the hardest worker and the ultimate goal scorer on the day - Dan.
Parents, once again you've excelled, I've ordered the Grandstand for the touchline given that there are now so many that come along in support :-) - thank you.
Looking forward to seeing you all this coming Saturday.
