On a muggy Sunday morning we returned as the home team to face newly formed Unicorn Fc. We started off on the front foot. An early chance falling to Nathan, he bought the ball down at the edge of the box, cut back onto his right foot and bent one wide of the post. We continued to play well, but Unicorn were were trying to hit us on the break. With 2 center backs with the combined age of 83, they decided not to take any chances with a high line π€£
As the half went on, Andi was causing all sorts of problems down our left side. We made it 1 nil when the ball was whipped to the back stick, Ben headered against the bar, but thankfully the ball fell to Nathan who calmly tucked it away from 6 yards out. 1 nil Bourne
Unicorn had a couple half chances, but nothing that really troubled Matty too much. We also had a couple of chances to increase our lead but we went into the break 1 nil to the good.
2nd half started pretty evenly with no big chances coming for either team. 10 minutes in we go down to 10 men after Billy sees the sin bin for daring to challenge the referee on his decision making. We drop into a 4-4-1 to try and stabilise. The game became a little bit open but we saw it out. Lucien came on for Bill and went into the 10. Harry then suffered GBH, taking an elbow to the face which resulted in a broken nose. To our surprise only a yellow was given and Harry had to be replaced by Miracle.
The game was still way to open but we created a great chance when Lucien did some good work and found himself out on the right. He got his head up and sent a deep cross to the back post, Andi tried heading the ball across for Gabe to tap in, but their keeper made a decent save and took it off Gabe's toe.
We made 3 changes and within 15 minutes we made it 2 nil. Miracle winning the ball back and driving through midfield, he slid in Trey down the right who's inch perfect cross was misjudged by Andi but it fell to Ben who smashed home to give us some breathing room.
The defence dealt with Unicorns attack pretty well. Ash came on skinned 2 players down the left. He found Lucien who clipped a cross to the back post and Ben couldn't quite get his head on it. We finally made it 3 when their defender played a sloppy pass out from a gk, Ben intercepted and smashed it straight back at their keeper who couldn't get enough behind it to stop it from going in. 3 nil Bourne
And that is how it ended, 100% record in tact. Next week we face Faversham Strike Force Reserves at home where we will need to put a big shift in to keep our unbeaten run going!!
