Friendly 24/07/08

Wenhaston Res- 4
Pot Black F.C- 1

With the squad a little thin on the ground for this match, with the air show no doubt playing a big part, all in all it was a respectable performance to which the score does not do justice.

Thanks again to Uni boys Hoody & Tom Miles who both looked dangerous and it was nice to see Jordon Wardrop and Leon Neeve pull on the Orange shirts for the first time.

On reflecting on the performance the pleasing thing is that there are many more positives than negatives, we created lots of chance's, which considering their were lots of players who have never played together in key positions, means things can only improve with time. Three of their goals were gifts and there manager, the ref and supporters commented that on another day the result could easily of gone the other way. Although to make sure next time things do go in our favour shooting practice is top the agenda at training next time around.

That aside thanks to all the lads who made the journey out to sunny Wenhaston your commitment off the pitch and on it was noted and much appreciated.

A massive thank you to our sponsor GH Windows & Doors, as the new kit got its first run out, it looked great and your backing will help the club to push forward in the new campaign.

And lastly a big thank you to Wenhaston for their hospitality and the friendly itself, It was nice to see a well run and well organised side, that were not to big for their boots (mentioning no local sides in particular!) and a top bunch of lads to boot, I hope we can have a re-run some time in the future.
