RIVERSIDE ALBIONS V POPPLETON PANTHERS .
1st game
With an unusual start to the game playing our friendly first due to poppletons shortage of players . We lent them 2 of our players Eddie and George who both played well and with commitment to poppleton which was very admirable for both of them.We went on with all the fight of a league game and was soon the leading team with an amazing goal from Becky from a tight angle with a brilliant finish showing everyone just why she is captain . The second goal was an opportunist goal from Jay placed in the back of the net with his left foot (not bad for a goaly).The 3rd goal with a sweet shot and good finish came from Matty Jewitt making it a 3 /0 win .
PERSON OF THE MATCH
Or should we say people were Becky and Harry Jackson both for their continued fight never tiring and showing true grit in both games when both took some heavy tackles .
2ND GAME
This was to prove a bit more challenging after playing so hard in the first game and then poppleton been added to by a couple of the first team players . It started off quite tense with poppleton defiantly benefiting from the addition of the new players . at times it was close between both teams. We had quite a few shots on goal and none managing to find the back of the net which as spectators leads to jangled nerves . Then in the second half Stephen took a long run down the left wing and placed it in the back of the net . (much to the relief of everyone on the touch line ).It looked like poppleton were going to score 3 Min's before the final whistle when a shot on goal was saved by Jay showing his vast improvement as our goal keeper reaching up and pushing it over the bar . All the team played well and showed just what they can do and kept their 4Th win in a row . well done to everyone you made me a very proud coach today lets keep it going.
MAN OF THE MATCH
Jay for his fantastic save and keeping another clean sheet.
