Match report. WGC 4 : 0 Adelaide 3s

We played a far better game than the result implies. The opposition were well organized and quick but they did not have an easy run as everyone played beyond expectations.

David played solidly in goal and learnt a lot. Gourab played exceptionally well and will become a very good player as he builds experience and skills. Nigel also showed great promise in his first match but was unfortunately limited later in the game with a muscle niggle.

We were lucky to have Mike Solomons playing for us as he made light of his long lay-off. He set a good example with his passing. We generally played well as a team and created a good three clear goalscoring chances, so the result could have looked different if they were put away.

Hence the result.

Match report: Adelaide 3s 3-3 Berkamsted 5s: 25 February 2017

We had an unfamiliar line-up due do absences and injuries so the game started rather scrappily.  The home side had a couple of dangerous players but overall we had the edge without managing to create much in the opening minutes until suddenly Rashmi got the ball on the right wing and cracked over a thunderous cross from the edge of the pitch to give Mike an easy sweep home.
Berl and John Bennett were kept busy in defense by their youthful wingers but did enough to blunt all but the occasional attack. Adrian in the centre played a disciplined game, frustrating the opposition.  Nonetheless Sam, our impromptu keeper, had plenty to do.  Given that he was carrying an injury and could not run he played magnificently.
Matt and Mark played well in  midfield managing several triangular moves between each other and the forwards.  Brian was busy on the right wing and created the second goal with a typical long run down the right, slipping the ball through to Mark who beat the keeper to the ball on the edge of the circle and scored.
Then Mike was taken out by a dangerous tackle that left him bleeding uncontrollably from the hand and had to leave the field.
The second half was a big ask with only ten men.  Everyone fought hard and were remarkably successful but legs tires and three goals went in to put Berkamsted in a winning position.  But Rashmi had not read the script and in the dying minutes beat the defence and keeper all by himself to snatch a well-merited draw.
