SATURDAY DIV2 YEL
CHIEFS 2-3 HILTON HARRIERS FIRE
The final game of the season on a glorious morning at Chellaston Park!! The Chiefs knew they just needed to go for the win, and nothing else! Promotion was on the cards, and the boys were up for the challenge.
Hilton started the quickest, and Chiefs were 1-0 down when Hiltons best player today, their CF was put through.
Once the Chiefs settled, we created several opportunities but the final bit of composure in the pass or decision was not quite there. Hilton pressed well and countered whenever possible.
2nd half arrived and the boys regrouped, we knew we had to raise the levels. The boys kept pushing, and there were some nearly chances again, until a suckerpunch decision gave Hilton a penalty which they dispatched 0-2.
Lewis pushed up from MF, we went on attack. And were gifted a goal as the keeper jumped into his own net.
This rallied the boys who hunted for the second. Some great crosses in from Armaan caused danger, and we couldnt finish. Rayez and Archie kept trying off the left side. But it was on the left where Niks amazing ”Maradona” between 3 players allowed him to feed Lucas who poked in to make it 2-2!! Game on!
The boys had the ascendancy and kept trying to nick an amazing comeback, we had chances!!! in the end Hilton scored a brilliant goal after a goalkick was rebounded back to their player who finished first time from out of the box.
A valliant team effort from being 2 down. On another occasion a better start would have helped, but we finish the season with heart and integrity. The boys carried themselves well, and showed in the past year that the Chiefs are a team that will always test you and give you a tough game.
Onto Tournaments and a well earned break.
The Chiefs will be back, stronger than ever 💪🏼
