Abbeymeads A at Home

This game was originally away but Abbeymeads pitch was unfit so it was switched to Lambourn. The lads struggled to get going and made hard work of the first 15 minutes with Abbeymeads going close a couple of times but some good defending by Daniel and Bradley and a couple of saves from Aaran kept them out. Lambourn started to get on top with Daniel going close and then Harley scored a the opener after a corner caused a goalmouth scramble. We continued to come forward and another scrappy goal was scored this time by Declan, Luke had a couple of good chances before half time but the first half finished 2 - 0
The weather turned at half time and the rain got heavier which made the ball like a bar of soap and stopped either side from getting there passing going. Howard came on for Luke and went into midfield and was soon in the action with a couple of strong runs down the left one resulted in the keeper making a great save to keep him out. The resulting corner saw Declan score one of the goals of the season with a superb volley that the keeper did not even see. Matthew came on for Harley and put in some strong tackles on the right and when the ball broke he hit a good shot which the keeper saved well. Luke came back on for Kieron and soon after added a fourth with a well taken goal. Bradley hit a fierce free kick which was cleared off the line and also had another long range effort pushed around the post.Abbeymeads pushed forward at the end and credit to Aaran who had been a spectator for long periods but made a great save low down to keep a clean sheet.
Final score 4 - 0, probablythe poorest overall performance of the season but we still won easily to keep the run going we have now scored 37 goals and conceded just 7.
