Matchday 1 Result: HFL Masters League - Goodwood Presby 1 - 1 Common Ground
Our first match of the season saw us salvage a draw near the end of the second half thanks to a super strike from Donnie, one of our new players and a serious boost to our squad this season.
Brian & Ivo, also new and brilliant additions to our squad, both had excellent games and the season ahead certainly looks promising with these guys on board.
The match was a difficult affair as the field was dry, uneven and sandy in many parts, plus the howling wind made free kicks and corners quite tricky. Nevertheless, we came to play and conceded a goal in the first half but we never gave up! Some shrewd substitutions in the 2nd half gave us a late energy burst and some neat passing from Duncan & Marco set up Donnie for the equaliser.
All in all, a fair result considering many of us, including myself, were a bit rusty and our opposition have certainly improved from last season.
Goodwood Presby remain unbeaten... :)
