Spires atheltic 3 - 2 British lion
Wow! What a game to end the season, it had everything. Penalty misses, red cards, woodwork being hit and goals. We knew this game doesn't effect our season but a personal battle for us. With the Lion 4 from 4 against us we wanted to win this to sign the season off on a high! We did exactly that.
The first half was a fast start from us getting right up into the faces of the Lion. Aiden Jackson playing number 9 this evening and we built up through him with ease. Every ball fired into he held up and moved. gave there RB the run around and he couldn't keep up with the pacey playmaker. Every player in that first half didn't put a foot wrong. Lion scored a brilliant goal against run of play to answer back to a strike from the makeshift left back and a follow up to a free kick which Aiden had a tap in. The first half finished 2-1 to us. Wallis and Pete dealt with the dangerous number 9 throughout.
Second half starts and we aren't one to mention refs but we felt hard done by a few decisions throughout the final 45 mins. We didn't let that go against us and kept battling, of course Lion came out strong put us under pressure at times. The Spires woodwork was hit and Matty Baker making some great saves. Bolwell got the Third with another great assist from Dylan hatt.
Last 15 mins Spires went down to 10 and a penalty missed. The biggest part of the game tonight was last season we would crumble and throw that game away with being a man down but tonight we did ourselves proud and ended on a great result.
Onto tomorrow night for the end of season awards night.
Every single player could of earned that MOTM but only right to give it to the goal scorer which sealed the game Josh Bolwell.
Congratulations to the on a great debut season and we hope to be battling next year with them.
