GA Purples v JSCC
Well today we began our league campaign at home to a very strong JSCC team, it was a real baptism of fire as we made our debut in the first division. We started the game very brightly, opening the scoring almost straight from kick off, Aros opening his goal account as he kept composure to poke the ball over the line 1-0, we were really looking good on the front foot, and 5 minutes after the opening goal, Amir went close, but his shot went wide of the keepers right hand post. JSCC began to take control of the game, looking very assured on the ball, passing through us, creating chance after chance, we done well to keep them out for as long as we did, then yet again, our Achilles heal, set piece delivered into our danger area and up pops JSCC striker unchallenged to head them level 1-1. The opponents were now totally bossing the game, their 9 terrorised our back line time after time, JSCC added another 3 goals before the break, into half time 1-4.
Regrouped at half time, asked the boys to be braver, get closer to our opponents and let them know that they were in a game, unfortunately it wasn’t taken on board and we simply began to implode, allowing JSCC to run over the top of us with ease, they went on to take another 5 goals from us 9-1 and all we had to show for our efforts in the second half was a penalty which was converted by the in form Sean 9-2, referee then blew for full time.
We spoke with the boys at the end, didn’t dwell on the scoreline so much, more about how disappointing it was to witness boys giving up mid game, I don’t believe we will play a better team in the league, we will need to take it on the chin and move on from it.
MOTM, true captain. Consistently setting the standards SEAN 🔥🔥🔥
