First Game...First Loss

What a dreadful first match this weekend, poor performance by everyone led to a 5-1 drubbing which was by no way fun or enjoyable.
First half started with Seabridge kicking up the slope and a crossed ball from right to left from the New Inn winger came back post where Cooper was over run by two New Inn players and the all three players bundled the ball into the net with Cooper having to admit the own goal.
Then in quick succession New Inn hit three long balls over the Seabridge defence (Bailey) and the New Inn striker beat Bailey for pace and lobbed the ball over the watching Seabridge keeper, all three carbon copy.
Cooper redeemed him self slightly as he hit a long free kick back post where Turner met the ball with powerful header to get a goal back, a similar situation minutes before halftime led to Turner missing a header back post.
Next half Seabridge hitting down the slope managed to gain some momemtum but a lack luster strike partnership, didn't managed to yield nothing as the midfield were having to put in all the offensive effort.
Then to make matters worse, ten minutes before the final whistle a reckless challenge by Cooper brought down a New Inn player in the box and conceded a penalty, 5-1 to New Inn.
A very poor game by myself and the rest of the Seabridge team. Now we are sitting at the bottom of the league, but on the positive side the only way is up.
