2025/2026 first winter competitive game of the season yesterday away against Robin Hood colts for the SUPER REDS 🔴
Lovely brisk morning on a great surface down at Robin Hood.
First half - took us 5-10mins for the team to settle down and start to find a rhythm in the game with a high press and getting the ball wide making the pitch big to stretch Robin Hood creating gaps and space in-between the lines
Where natye took no time in linking up with Charlie and G scoring 2 in a matter of minutes to settle the team down.
But it was clear Robin Hood was a yard off the lads conceding a penalty where Mason after natye being a good team mate let him step because Mason hasn’t scored for the team in 2/3 years - Mason calmly slotted pass the Robin Hood keeeper.
The Kirkby lads just keep ball really well playing fast football and next up Alfie with an absolute rasper from the left hand side - struck with venom across the keeper into the top right hand corner.
And just before half time natye had completed his hat-trick complimented
By G threading him the ball through the lines
Going into half with a healthy lead.
Second half - Robin Hood really struggled to get past any of the Kirkby defenders who stood tall with composure to keep playing the ball out from the back to kept the pressure onto the Robin Hood.
With the Robin Hood keeper pulling off great save after great save from the lads - natye put a precise cross for Freddie to head home from close range - like a young Duncan Ferguson
And with the game coming to a close a few positional changes Louie struck from a missed place pass from Robin Hood to get amongst the scorers and natye completing the game cold calm finish.
A real dominant display from the Kirkby lads who just looked faster and sharper than Robin Hood lads but credit to them they kept going to the end.
Lovely start for the lads and take some confidence going into next weeks game.
