Match Report: Early morning semi – an away trip, needing a win by two or more to secure a place in the Grand Final. Our opposition had nothing to play for and their Coach came and had a chat with us all before the game to let us know that – a little odd and we put it down to tactics to put us off

A strong start saw us get the required two goals up within the first fifteen minutes. Joey ‘I only do 9am games in the semi’s’ Crye burst out of centre mid to receive the ball on the right and from the byline put a cross in that JB volleyed home. JB was fitting the game in by playing in his lunch break before dashing back to work after the game

A few minutes later Dave put Lowndsey away down the left, beating the offside trap. Ibra was unmarked and unselfishly Lowndsey squared the ball to Ibra to pass into an empty net – which I can personally say is not easy to do at Werrington especially into the end in which Ibra scored

We created loads more chances in the first half and should have been out of sight but could not add to our lead (adds weight to my point in the last paragraph)

Second half and more spurned chances as well as Werrington starting to create a little bit themselves led to a period of nerves. These nerves were settled when Paul whipped in a cross that Lowndsey rose like a salmon to head home. The rest of the game was played out without incident
