Match report   Im not one for cliches but this was a game of two halves today, We were without big chris which was a blow and we had to change things around a little to compensate.

Pock looked very potent and were using their wide men and putting in plenty of attacks, we were confident we would put up a better performance than last time we played them but we knew they would think they could beat us.

We looked sluggish and we were hesitant, we held them off for a while but it was only a matter of time before they punished us and it came, this made our heads drop and shortly after their first they got a second, they put in a corner which we semi cleared, it went back to the corner man and we stood and watched him pick his spot and he belted it over the top of everyone and into the goal.

This killed us off in the first half, the front men were not getting any service they looked dangerous together but were playing too deep for it to make a difference. David T was having a good game but he was having to plug too many gaps.

There were glimmers of hope Dan and Frankie were doing OK on their debuts, Scott and James look good up front together. we were 2-0 down at half time and we didnt know what to say, we had not played well but never the less they didnt deserve to be 2-0 down.

We agreed that we were gonna consider it 0-0 and go out and win the second half and win the second half is what they did.

Right form the off we were at them attacking James was like a man possessed in this half and was confident and playing out of his skin, David was winning everything and Seth and Oli B were menicing on the wings, Seth and James were linking up together brilliant.

we put in an attack and the ball rolled to the one person you want it to roll to in the box, David doesnt miss form there and all of a sudden we were back in it. We had Pock on the ropes and the lads seemed decided that was where they wanted them to stay.

We switched Will to right back and him and Cameron T were thumping balls up to the midfield and our defence was been lead by Guy in his usual battling spirit and him and frankie were putting it about nicely, Our captain Aaron was running all over, Oli C was sub and he was nipping my ear asking to go on, one of the Pock lads had taunted him on the side line when they scored earlier and he wanted revenge.

He came on and was like a fresh pair of legs it was a big pitch and he seemed to have bags of space and was putting in great balls and running at the pock goal.

We flung in another attack from the right via Seth and David and it teed up for Oli in front of goal 2-2 he was pleased with himslef and i looked like i had made an inspried substitution, in reality i was fed up with him going on at me.

They had the bit between their teeth now and we wanted it now. Pock were bickering and we were going to take advantage of it. Wave after wave of attacks were coming in from us and Scott and james were getting into spaces and david and arron were picking up balls and behind them the back four were doing the same. Will H was having a great time and was stiffling their winger who had done us so much damage in the first half and last time we had met them.

Our third goal was something else it involved half a dozen players and James was in the thick of it David was involved as was Arron Seth and Scott James put it across goal and Scott stuck it in. 3-2 OMG what was in the half time drinks.

Pock tried to come back at us but our back four and Ben had it covered David continued to dominate midfield. Scott got on it again and it was 4. we took him off for the last 5 and put Oli B in a sweeper role just to make sure we were not gonna concede now.

We were very good in the second half and Pock didnt know whaqt had hit them Man of the match i say it every week could have been any one of them, But Will played an outstanding game today and deserves the accollade he sorted out their winger and made some great balls though he stood strong and was physical exacly what we needed. Well done Will.

And well done lads this was one of those games that can only form them as a team they showed true character and grit and if we play a full game like this week in week out who knows what we can do.

Congratualtions lads, they all deserve a mention it was Dan and Frankies Debut and they didnt let us down, David was a rock today and James its coming keep pluggin away. Aaron ran his socks off, Guy as usual strong in the defence Ben you make a difference to this team and have won a number of games for us, Cameron keep thumping it. Oli B an C how lucky are we to have 2 speedy left wingers, Seth always palys well never has a bad game, Ross is striking the ball fantastic this year, Scott can play any where as can Will who was MOM today. WELL DONE.
