A luxury home game in the paddock saw us take on the divisions bottom team in a determined mood. Our away fixture saw us draw yet again so nothing but a win was the order of the day.

 

In an amazing opening 3 mins 30 seconds, we forged a 2 – 0 lead with 2 great strikes from Matt Baber and Jordan Knight which was the perfect start. Our team play and tempo could not be answered as our domination continued throughout the first half with a third added by Mo Bouaziz without reply. Other chances came and went with some great free kicks from James Boulton and further good passing from Mo and Oli Randall. James Hurrell Smith, back in his familiar sweeper role, and Craig Francis in goal were rarely troubled as attack after attack was followed by good ball retention.

 

The second half though was a more even affair with Castle Court finally penetrating our defence with a good goal to bring some respect to the scoreline. However, they never quite had enough fire power to get themselves back into the game, mainly due to the dominance of some great defence and midfield work. Matt Baber had 2 more half chances and both Reece Tucker and Jordan Knight, playing left wing, created some positive moves down both wings.

 

Overall, a very satisfying performance and a great win proving the team has a lot more to offer. The players involved know how important preparation on match days is and I hope we can show the same attitude for our remaining 3 games this season to build towards a much more successful season in 2005 / 06.

 

 

Another difficult choice for the Man of the Match with so many players playing so well. In particular Ben Bowden at full back,Oli Randall in defence and Matt Baber up front with good support from James Boulton. However, todays award went to one of our goalscorers Mo Bouaziz with another consistence performance.
