Match Report: First return match of the season against a team that had beaten us 1-0 in the first game of the year. A full squad available, giving the coach plenty of options

The team has gelled well over the last month and put an impressive run of performances and results together. We started with a physically strong centre mid trio of Jake, Ash and Keastie, who played the CDM role. The three boys did a great job winning the ball and ensuring we were on the ascendency from the start. Up front Alex was finding space down the left regularly. Ethan got away down the right and his cross went across the face of the goal and the sliding Ash and Alex could not quite reach it. We took the lead courtesy of an own goal – Alex put a cross into the box and the defender met it with his head and deflected it past his own keeper

Second half and we continued to control the play, with Max in centre mid running the legs off the tiring opposition. Ethan and Damo combined in the box with a neat one two to create a chance for Ethan. Keastie had been redeployed to left back and got forward on one occasion to put a super cross in, Damo flicked on and Oli arrived at the back stick to knock home

Dom and Jake were asked to play at centre back late on and both did a great job. Sam and James were excellent at right back, especially in the last ten minutes or so as Wentworth Falls started to get a bit of possession in our half

A dominant team performance; solid in defence with no clear cut chances given; we controlled the midfield and created plenty up front – the boys were disappointed in the sheds afterwards not to have got more goals. Keastie had an excellent game both at CDM and left back, topping it off with an assist

Parents player of the match to Millsy for another solid performance at the heart of defence – alongside Aidy forming a great partnership
