Letchworth V Peterboro A:
Letchworth started nervously knocking the ball around trying to make some space but the peterboro team seem to easily intercept some of our passes & race towards our goal. Michael had to make some early saves but eventually they scored from an accurate flick past him. We put some good moves together but couldnt get the ball past Sam the big peterboro goal keeper, he was everywhere ! There was two refs on this time so peterboro couldnt get away with most of there usual ‘tricks’ with the proof being midway in the first half one of the peterboro players was cautioned by the ref right in front of me he said “leave his skates alone & play the ball right” Say no more ! We had time out to try & reafirm the tacticts but Peterboro eventally scored two more ending the first half 3-0 up.
In the second half Letchworth came out with a desire to win & put more effort in to score coming close on many occasions but Sam just seemed to have the edge. Nick made a good run getting in front of goal & blasted it into the back of there net 3-1. Time out again. Minutes later Colin got a penalty & scored 3-2 but peterboro tore our defence apart scoring two more past Michael to make it 5-2. We werent finished yet as Robert found the back of the net to finish the game Peterboro 5-Letchworth 3.
Its a pity the lads didnt play the first half like they did in the second half, then they could have won the game !
Oh well there’s allways next time !
