FULL-TIME
Callow Lions 0-6 Ravenhill
We kicked off light on players but we were fighting for the badge from the off! Control in the midfield with Porter linking well with Jackson and Bradder, we had plenty of chances early, Buckley burning his man to feed Miles but we saw a flurry of questionable offsides and frankly we were let off with some too (Reece and Tom will be grateful this one wasn’t on camera). Callow grew into the half but didn’t cause Holder and his back line too much concern, with Hindmarsh and Chacksfield linking well down the left to nullify any danger. The first goal came shortly before the end of the half with a well worked ball by Buckley to find Miles who dinked a little cross in to Jacko, beating the keeper in the process, leaving a nice open goal for us to take the lead!
Despite a couple of stray misfires, Miles got his goal ten minutes later, the ball again coming from the left through Buckley, credit to the Callow keeper he was first to everything but couldn’t do enough to deny Miles! Minutes later Bradder was brought down by the keeper but failed to convert his penalty. HT
With one sub in Jones, who was carrying a knock, we returned to play unchanged and things picked up for us! Porter was an aerial threat all game, winning the first ball and playing out to Harding or back into the middle through Bradder. The partnership between Churchill and Hindmarsh paid dividends as our ability to play out from the back was fantastic, beating the press and playing between the lines well! More danger down the left, Buckley saw his strike parried by the keeper but it fell into the path of Miles again who made sure it crossed the line (this has been disputed heavily) 3-0,
We bagged our fourth again through Miles to secure his hat trick and Buckleys hat trick of assists, a very formidable partnership! Chacksfield was denied a world class assist as he beat his first man with a flick over the top and then followed up with more of the same against the second before delivering into the box but Miles couldn’t get a shot away. He did however make amends by scoring a 4th! The final goal coming through Kenzie to seal the points, 6-0 Ravens
