Sub's : Shaun Tullett - Mason Saunder.
This Saturday saw us travel away to Berkhamsted (a 60 mile trip each way) and still not getting anything for our hard work and effort. We started the game very well with some good movement going forward and our defence working hard when required too, Aaron Carter in goal was outstanding again and kept us in the game pulling off one good save after another. We kept pushing for a goal and managed to come in 1 - 0 up at half time, our midhfield worked so hard for each other playing the ball from one side of the pitch to the other opening their defence when possisble we started to keep the ball and create chances from midfield, new signing Jamarl Rose played his part up front holding the ball up and playing Rafa Barbosa in to score our first goal, some neat work from midfield slotted the ball through to Jamarl who then played it in to the path of Rafa to slot it home.
2nd half : Berkhamsted stepped up the tempo and started to come back at us the game changed they became more physical and unsettled my young side the ref was unable to take control of this and more and more tackles went flying in but only 2 yellow cards were shown but only to my players which I could not understand and before we knew it we were 3 -1 down and our backs to the wall.
But suddenly my lads seemed to realise they could get something out of this game and throw everything they had at them they worked their socks off for me and my staff, again we started to keep hold of the ball which meant we could create more chances they started to come form both sides of the pitch our hard work paid off in the end when we put in a good cross from right wing for Rafa to step up and head it in the top corner 3 - 2 we kept pushing for the equaliser but were running out of time they hit us on the break and scored their 4th goal in the 47th minute, game over. it was a game of 2 halfs and I think we deserved a point the lads stuck up for each other and should of got a draw for their efforts today Man of the match = Aaron Carter .
