First Friendly of the campaign
Venue: Knutton Rec
Kick Off: 11:00am
Britannia FC 1 Seabridge FC 1
Paul Beaman 61”
A good first game, Seabridge had the better of the chances but went a goal down just after half time. Paul Beaman then equalized as his corner kick curled right past the keeper and into the net. Thursfield also missed an almost unbelievable chance as he hit a ball over the bar from 5 yards out. Rushton also hit a one-on-one straight at the keeper, and P. Beaman managed to beat 3 men and hit a shot right into the keepers arms.
Fair result would have been 5 – 2 to the Seabridge.
1st half team
Cooke 6 didn’t have much to do.
Ray 6 Fairly consistent
Bailey 6 Fairly consistent
Cooper 6 Good tackling but lack of concentration meant miss-controlling the ball.
Brereton 6 Good passing and helped with defending duties
Smith 6 Showed good passing at times
Turner 6 Battled well in the middle of the park
Martin 6 Worked hard but lacked technique to make the most of his time on the ball
Rushton 6 Ran constantly up and down the wing.
Orpe 6 Missed a sitter but showed good potential with the ball
Thursfield 5 Hit one over the bar from 3 yards out.
2nd Half Team
Fletcher 7 Shaky start, but kept the team in the game with some brilliant saves
G. Nixon 5 Good passes but speed let him down
Bird 6 Good interceptions and forward runs
Orpe 6 Missed a sitter but showed good potential with the ball
Beech 5 Slow and seemed very off the pace of the game
C. Beaman 5 Disappointing performance
Riley 7 Great runs with the ball, needs to pass a little earlier
Sidebotham 5 didn’t really do anything
Ryan ? 6 Good in the air and challenging for the ball
P. Beaman 7 Great goal and could of had another two, just needs a little improvement with fitness
Kerns 5 some good touches but very far of the pace. Needs to put a lot of effort into training
On the whole we were a lot fitter than them and it showed in the last 10 minutes where we could have had two or three goals.
On a personal note, not a great performance from me, I tackled and headed the ball well but, I kept on taking my eye of the ball which led to me spilling and miss-controlling the ball. Fitness wise I was fine, need to make sure that I concentrate better next game.
Man of the Match was second half keeper Fletcher, as he kept the Seabridge in the game with some top draw saves.
Next fixture is a game a against Redgate Clayton 1st Team, Wednesday 8th, this will be an extremely tough fixture as they are one of the best amateur Saturday league sides, I think it’s best just to try and practice the basics and forget the score line.
