⚽️MATCH REPORT⚽️
28th September
Following the first 3 weeks the fixtures were released on Tuesday seeding the Vipers in the top division and a trip back to Oak Park for the Trophy Event. This time the early slot, kicking off at 08:30 and familiar faces with the Wyrley team from the week prior that beat us 1-0. There's a score to settle there because we know we can play better.
Game 1 - Trophy
Pelsall Villa Colts 4-0 Sporting Khalsa
We challenged the players to play together, as a team and they delivered. It was a great display from everybody causing so many problems for the Khalsa defence. Frankie opened the scoring following a pass through from Ellis, they were linking up well and quickly after Ellis was bought down and stepped up to take the penalty for 2-0. Half time Hayden and Ellis swapped position as Ellis went in goal and Hayden came out to go up front and it was more of the same from the team as Sharpie managed to win a goalmouth scramble to fire home then Jaxson played Hayden in for 4-0.

Game 2 - Trophy
Pelsall Villa Colts 5-3 Wyrley Warriors
A repeat of last week's fixture and a score to settle. We really got the vipers fired up for this one, ramping up the intensity from the first whistle. There must only have been a minute on the clock when Hayden whipped in a dangerous corner that Frankie managed to jump and audaciously back heel home for 1-0. Great goal and creativity to try that. A few minutes later, another corner whipped in again by Hayden and the Wyrley player tried to volley clear but it went straight into the net. Pelsall 2 up and looking comfortable. Wyrley were now having a spell and pelsall on 2 occasions switched off allowing the shot to come in. Teddy made some good saves but couldn't do anything for the 2 goals. Wyrley were level from nowhere and now this would be a big test for pelsall. Could they lift their head and go again? Yes they could, the Wyrley GK cleared the ball from a back pass towards the half way line and Hayden watched it all the way hitting it first time all the way back and it flew past the goalkeeper into the net with no chance of stopping it, 3-2 and a strike that you just knew was in from the moment he hit it, pelsall lead at the break.
After half time the vipers were straight out at them giving them no time whatsoever on the ball. Fran was bossing it in the middle when the ball fell to Ellis who jinked past 2 defenders and then past the GK to slot home into an empty net with a great solo goal 4-2. Sharpie was now in goal and Wyrley were throwing everything to pull it back they finally got 1 after a bit of a scramble in the box, 4-3, tense finish to the game was due and Wyrley still pushing but a worldy save from Sharpie kept the Vipers in front before Hayden found himself in on goal to beat the keeper and start the celebrations, 5-3 and a great team performance to cap off another great day. Player of the day went to Franceska with opposition coaches again being very complimentary of how good she is, picking her out as a key player. She's been unlucky each week not to win it, she really has added consistency.
