We were up against Enfield a highly rated team, that had started the season well and where in the top 5.
We were a bit of a scratch team with two new loan signings being thrown in at the last minute, we did o.k. We had the strong wind in our faces in the first half and thankfully Enfield didn't really make the best use of it. Enfield started the brighter and with a slow passing game that seemed to be working!
A corner from the left was met by an Enfield player and buried into the net. Steve had no chance.
Our defenders were still getting to know each other, whilst Enfield players HAD met each other before !! With a bit of good fortune and help from Jesse & John the score was kept down to one. One mistake by Captian John was SAVED by a 15mtr dash to the line by Darryl.
The first half seemed to pass without to many more scares. Michael & Colin ( our loan boys from Blackhorse Rd ) played their part down the right. Gaining confidence as the match progressed.
The boss tried to encourage at the break. Trevor the wise old man was not so complimentary and told the team we were not playing. The word was SHOOT, in the second half. The wind is with us.
Rowen ( feeling ill ) came on as Darryl switched positions. Many attempts at goal, many near misses, many missed kicked in front of goal....but no goal.
Overall the game was played in a great spirit and we really should have picked up a point at least.Even the Enfield man (James) said we didn't deserve to lose. But hey, we did and it was so close but still so far.
