Starting line-up was Macca, Wardy, Adam, Hazza, Joel, Matty, Paul, Ollie P, Josh, Craggers, and Hamish. TAJFC's performance against this opposition was much more composed and organised than in our previous meetings and Tad looked the better team from the get-go; However, OMSM defended well and their keeper was very cool under pressure. Chance after chance rained in from the wings and mid-field until Josh managed to convert. Within 5 mins of the goal, Josh took a nasty scrape to the Achilles tendon and Sam came on (and showing great initiative) swapped positions with Hazza. Paul came off at half time, we reverted to 4-4-2, Angus slotted into mid-field with Hazza and Matty playing up front. In a similar to manner to the first half, excellent chances weren't effectively converted (though not through lack of effort!). A second goal came from Matty after he'd been knocking on the door like a sociopath thesaurus salesman. Shortly afterwards OMSM's frustration bubbled to the surface with a nasty tackle to Hamish and a full "studs up" on Joel on the centre line. It is worth noting that today was the only 2 times this season that I have had to waddle on to the pitch because of injury - a reflection of the strength and skill of our players. Matty picked up a bit of a strain and Paul replaced him for the remaining 10 mins. The Ref blew for full time dead on 30mins. Honourable mention to Macca who made a superb save and to his Grandma who conducted the warm-up. I asked the players to vote on MOTM because it was too difficult to choose - well done to Hamish. Excellent team performance. Three more league games, one (or more) cup games plus three tournaments to come. More details regarding training, Sport Relief and coming fixtures in the next few days - however it's a 90% certainty that training will be on Thursday night because of Year 10 Parents Evening at TGS on Wednesday. WELL DONE.
