Signol Reds Vs Reddish Villa Reds

Weather watching all morning, the rain was set to pound us at 1pm, not good! All arrived and looking dapper in their new tracksuits! Spirit was high and all ready to play the final game of the league! Warming up on pitch was much better than previous weeks, we were tight and sharp, just how i expect them to be. Going up against Villa knowing last time they broke our winger brought the dark cloud from the heavens even closer but they knew they have grown since last November and become the team to beat. Started out, Ethan in net, The Wall in defence, Nyle trying left mid, Kobe right mid and Kian on the front. In true signol style we were all half asleep and slow to start. They took kick off and immediately hammered into the boys. Villa are a strong team and it showed. Their passing was spot on and they could volley over our heads with precision. It wasn't long before we conceded a goal, it just sailed in over Ethan's head, our defending just wasn't a match for them. Slowly but surely the cogs began to pick up speed and the attack was on. We started moving the ball quicker, getting it up the pitch. From Kian to Nyle and an attempt on goal, great shot from Nyle but their rather tall keeper caught it. Reddish returned the favor and ploughed it into out net! 2 nil down but warmed up. Kobe came off for Caleb who immediately put in the pace, We had them on their toes. We then had a corner, Nyle took to it with a brilliant shot, their player headed it to the boot of Kian who of course delivered our first goal with finesse. Back to the top and off we go, George fighting strong in defence, brilliant throw ins and fighting hard to keep them away from Ethan. Back into their half saw Caleb deliver a goal and the whistle blew for half time. Second half saw Louis in defence and the rest still on. Our start from Kian to Nyle then immediately wide to Caleb was brilliant, while Villa charge to our kick off we went wide, Louis holding position perfectly and clearing the ball with a solid boot. A change of Kian for Josh (Blue team) and he quickly set into action covering centre mid. Villa then stole another goal and then another! 4-2 down and passion to win was at an all time high. We were fighting to get the ball in their net. A super save from Ethan kept Villa at bay. They were keen to score a fifth but Ethan refused that and covered his are perfectly and was on the ball quick and passed back out quick. His confidence is coming on as he bossed about his defender! Caleb off an Kobe on. George on for Louis, Nyle off for Louis. We were adamant we were looking for that net, then Kobe took a foul and went down in their half. George was instructed to take it and boom the back of the net was done. There was a matter of minutes to go and we needed that last goal, great team work as Louis crossed to Josh, Josh to Kobe and a blast from Kobe but he hit the cross bar, a cry of annoyance came from Kobe but then he realized the ball was still in play and he swiped it into the net! Whistle blown and the boys were happy with a 4-4 draw! And so was i! Their manager came to us and asked us to pick man of the match for them and they would do it for us, we voted and chose their number 9 and they chose our number 10! George the wall hall. I couldn't agree more, George never fails to deliver, once hes woken up, and hes a magnificent player with a superb attitude.

That was the last league game and well done to you all for a brilliant exciting season. I look forward to the cup match and a summer of tournaments and building the team up to 7 aside.

Well done.
