Back with a vengeance!

There are times in the season when something happens that changes the course of the league. Last night Strikeitlucky changed the course of their season, by hammering poor Gifted but Lazy.
A defeat would have spelt doom for the boys as they could have gone the whole season without a win. But not this night. The lads gave their best performance in weeks and one of their best ever. Every single player was on top of his game and when you combine good individual performances coupled with a supreme team effort, there is only going to be one winner.

Mark's kicking was spot on all night, he was a useful outfield sub when legs started to tire around him and was unfortunate to concede the goal. Tony put everything he had in to defending but also summoned the strength to push on once or twice. Great tackling and 'shepherding' of opposing attackers was textbook. Jason had a great game, passing accurately, defending hard and intelligently but most of all his confidence in front of goal helped bag a brace at a tight part of the game. Ozzy returned with his best game so far, his all round performance and 'goal' earned him the man of the match award. Well done mate. Luke also had his best game so far and his fitness is clearly improving. His tackles were stronger and his increased confidence in his own ability was clear to see. Great finish for the 6th goal, slotted in at the near post from Gary's corner. Ah yes, Gary! What a game. He has never held the ball up so well and his passing was spot on. If not for his movement then for his non-stop running all night, he could also have got MOM. Matt was up and down all night and and got in some important tackles as well as bagging goals.

In all honesty, every player was Man of the Match last night. The performance was THAT good! The boys must carry this confidence in to the showdown next week. Big games require big performances. Let's shock some people on Monday!!!
