With the travails of yesterday rankling most of our players, we set ourselves some simple objectives in order to make sure that we came away with the win.
These went out of the window in the first 20 minutes as tragically, basic errors allowed our opponents take a 1-0 and then 2-1 lead. We slowly got our act together equalizing both times before taking the lead, 3-2, just before the break.
The second half was thankfully more prosaic as we gained the upper-hand in the tie. Some poor work in front of goal and some fine saves from their keeper kept the score-line closer than it could have been, the game finishing 5-2.
My thanks to Alastair for umpiring both of our matches over the weekend.
