1st XI vChrist’s Brecon 2 - 1

A perfect day for football, but a waterlogged pitch meant that the game was on the astro. Preparation had been positive the previous day – “Go and play like that” was the instruction. For the first half they didn’t. We conceded a goal despite dominating the game. However we hadn’t created a noteworthy chance. Sluggish and lacklustre, we were second to every ball.

A rocket at half-time galvanised the boys. Immediately we were on the attack, creating openings. The opposition had a strong defence and proved hard to get past. Eventually the breakthrough came with a neat finish from Max with ten minutes to go. A second followed minutes later when Max bagged a brace. The tempo had been raised and the ball was being passed with more purpose.

In the end we deserved the victory, but we had made heavy weather of it in the sunshine.
