Blues 0 – Chacewater 5

Well the scoreline does not reflect what an exciting match it was to watch with great footballfor the whole 50 minutes.

Chacewater started well and within a few passes were already testing the goal.  The Goats soon recovered and the game settled for a few minutes, but soon Chacewater worked a great set of passes  and struck the ball home.  The Goats were committing themselves to the tackle far too early and against players in the Chacewater team this was never going to be the way to defend.   The second Chacewater goal was a fine shot from Jake who bent the ball around and advancing Danny with such speed that he was not even quick enough to dive for it .  The Goats had a few chances  at the other end, and should have clawed a few goals back but the luck was not with them for the final touch as the Chacewater goalie had the luck with him.  At half time the score was 3-0 to Chacewater.  In the second half  the Goats were reminded how to defend by delaying and not by diving in and Joe played a great game keep out any play down the left side, and soon they were applying the pressure on the Chacewater goal for most of the second half  and yeshe played a great game out on the Right wing as he recovered from a knock to his knee.  But the Goats just could not get the ball into the net as Chacewater defended well.  Two breaks from Chacewater resulted in the lead being extended to 5-0.  It was a great match to watch and unlike the previous week, the football was worth watching.

Reds 6 – Newquay 2

Like the Blues, the match score did not reflect the tension and excitement of the match.  Newquay only had 7 players while the Goats had 11.  On a wet and sticky pitch this gave the Goats a distinct advantage as every 7 minutes 4 sets of fresh legs were put on the pitch.  Over the 50 minutes the pace at which the Goats played took its toll, but Newquay never gave up and in the last 10 minutes found the energy to pass and muscle their way forward to strike two great goals.  Congratulations to Sam P for his hatrick.
