β½ Match Report | Whitfield Colts v Chartham Reds β½
What. A. Game. π΄
With the sun blazing down in Dover for the teams final game of the season, both sides served up an absolute thriller β and our Reds were right in the thick of it playing with passion to the very last second.
Our opponents started the brighter and made it difficult for the reds to get into their groove, but Archie wasnβt going to let them have it their own way, unleashing a thunderous long-range strikeβ‘
The hosts pressed with more attacking football, leaving Chartham with a mountain to climb going into the break.
Archie struck again to keep the Reds within touching distance, but with ten minutes to go and more goals the game seemed out of reachπ¬
Not this Chartham team.
Archie completed a sensational hat-trick with yet another long-range rocket π β giving the keeper nightmares and the Reds renewed belief.
The team rallied;
Missing JP who has been outstanding all season (get well soon), Freddie and Ellis took up the mantle both making important saves when called upon. π§€
Nikos, Ralph, Nathan & Joshua vowing to let nothing past the defensive back line. β½οΈ
The midfield linking the team together with clever footwork and intricate passing with what has been our engine all season; Louis, Freddie, Ellis, Summer and Jude challenging for every ball and putting in the yards. πββοΈ
Up top James and Archie penetrated the oppositions back line, running tirelessly looking for opportunities. β½οΈ
With seconds to spare before the final whistle Jude pops up at back post, ever the opportunist, gambling on a ball through, poking in from close range clinching the leveller and sparking wild celebrations amongst the players, coaches and travelling supporters! π
An 8 goal thriller. Sunshine. Drama. A hat-trick of screamers. The perfect way to bring the curtain down on a memorable season. π
