League - Wed 14-04-2010 - Foxton 0v2 Fulbourn 1st Team (A)
Another bright but cold evening at Foxton a mid table team who we should overcome with ease but like all our opponents the tactics seem to be “don’t give them time on the ball and hit them early” Indeed they really looked the most likely to score for the first fifteen minutes but then Fulbourn began to gradually take command and John Fear met a great pass with his head and it just went over.
Foxton still got the odd breakaway and they were very unlucky when they hit the inside of the post but it was scrambled away. The ball was immediately taken up the other end and Matt Glass hit a super goal from a good passing move and Fulbourn were back in business.
Half time came and went and not long after the start Dave decided to pull off Fearo who was being wound up by lots of little tugs and nudges, and on came Joey.
His presence was immediately influential and the attacks became more frequent and several good chances were missed.
The post was struck and it was sensed that it was only a matter of time before the lead was consolidated. Sure enough a cross from Joey was knocked in by Ben with a very difficult header which he had to lean away from the goal to get in.
From then on the outcome was never in any doubt and the only question was how many were we going to win by. As it happened nothing more of note happened except the welcome sight of Sean Frost making a rare appearance. He did not have long to make much of an impression, but it was great to see him back.
I must just mention Ibby and Jordan who were rock solid at the back once again and must be the best pair of defenders in the league bar none.
