Scorers: Firth
Beautiful day at the racecourse.
Pitch was rock hard.
Relegation 6 pointer kicked off.
We started very well.
The opposition were a disgrace with some late tackles and verbal threats.
Quote: “we need to punch these ….. in the head”
Nice.
The ref was excellent first half.
Brad and John were superb up front against the rough stuff and the verbal threats.
Brad missed a sitter when he went to pieces with only the keeper to beat.
Brad then scored with a composed finish.
We hit the bar.
We should have been 3 up at half time.
Half time 1 – 0 AP.
“Do not concede easy corners or give stupid free kicks away”.
15 easy corners and stupid free kicks later still 1 – 0.
We hit the bar.
Very ugly second half with very little football played.
AP extremely disciplined in the face of provocation.
Back 5 superb all game.
Full time AP 1 – 0 win.
Get in.
Special mentions
John Murphy
Super John Murphy broke a bone in his ankle on Saturday and will probably miss the rest of the season. John has been a 4th team hero all year. Brilliant in defence and a constant threat from long range shooting and free kicks. We wish John a speedy recovery. You will be missed this Saturday.
The whole team
We really needed the 3 points at the weekend and the whole squad played a massive part. The discipline and structure of the team were excellent throughout. It was not the greatest of football spectacles but we got the job done on Saturday.
We still need to pick up points from our remaining two games to secure safety so still work to be done.
