Braves 6 - Blandford 1
Despite being a bit slow to start and a bit of player to player critiscm creeping in in the first half, the match was generally well played by the Braves.
Our defenders; Mark Donachy, Sam Klein, Alex Sharp and Jack Williams, worked well together and held off a number of determined efforts by Blandford.
A team re-shuffle meant that Josh Powley and Joe Jordan were strikers and Chris Birrell and Luke Woodhouse played mid-field. The combination worked well with everyone one of them having a number of opportunities at goal.
The mid-fielders filled the gap nicely and one the majority of opposition goal kicks enabling us to drive forward, up and over the Blandford defence and creating numerous opportunities.
Jack Williams debut, having been away from the game with an injury for a number of months, was great! Well done Jack, nice to see some nifty knock forwards and your pace coming back...
Ben Blades and Ollie C-J put in a sterling effort on the wings, I lost count how many times Ollie and Luke put in a 'one two' move and drove it up the right wing...fantastic!
Goal scorers were Luke Woodhouse (2), Joe Jordan (3) and Josh Powley (1).
Man of the Match was Ollie Cornellius-Jones for his determination on the pitch, winning numerous balls despite often being out numbered and passing the ball forward so as his team mates could secure a goal...well done Ollie!
Next Sunday we play Lytchett Matravers (away), I've a feeling this will be a tough match but if we maintain our form we should do well....
Great effort today boys!!!
Thanks to John Jordan for doing the line (again) and special thanks to Steve Donachy for stepping in to be referee at the last minute...both unbiased and very professional, thanks very much!
