Our Lions made the short journey up to Stourbridge rugby club to play Tika Taka Falcons today and had a good morning of football. It was a tight game with both teams looking to open each other up. Although both teams mostly cancelled each other out, we felt we had created more chances over the whole game, with the Falcons keeper playing well in goal, and making a great save from Max in a one on one situation. Freddie had a few half chances but Falcons tactic was looked to mark him out the game, after our previous encounter, when Fred scored his goals. When he did get behind the defence with his pace the Falcons keeper came out of his box to clear up and again win the one on one opportunity. We conceded a corner in the second half and were duly punished when we failed to react quick enough and Falcons took the lead. Tommy made a couple of good saves to make sure we were still in the match. Dylan, Cole and Noah pushed on to support Freddie as we gambled, pushing players forward. We even went 2 at the back, and in the final second of the game we won a free kick a long way out. Noah took the resulting set piece and went for the long shot. Freddie made a good run across the keeper and the distraction left the keeper no chance, with Noah rewarded with his equaliser. Overall the team played well with a lot of good performances, in a game, which was a bit scrappy at times, and a bit of a battle. Reuben and Harvey worked hard and battled all game, with Jaxon, returning from injury. Albie, Lucas, Max and Billy all closed the opposition down winning the ball back and keeping them at bay. This was a game where both sets of defenders concentrated on keeping the opposition quiet in attack.
