Match report v Whitewebs Eagles
Lost 0 - 8

We all knew that this would be a difficult game, so at training we discussed our game plan and tactics in order to use them during the game. Unfortunately we came unstuck before the game started with Jake being injured and not able to play.

But we stuck to the plan. The begining of the plan was to win the toss and kick up hill in the first half so that we could soak up the pressure in the first half and suprise them with our speed and agility in the second half, as we came down the hill towards them.

We won the toss. Plan going well so far!

The second part of the plan was that in the first half we would play 5 at the back with Yusif (still cant spell it right) man to man on their striker, who we have been told is the fastest thing on the planet, and Martin and Michael making the other two centre backs.

One flaw in the plan is that we didn't know what this striker was called or looked like! We soon found out when the game started as he was the one who was fast!!! All went to plan for the first 15 minutes and we kept them away from the goal and battled hard against them.

The play was all in our half and it was only a matter of time before they scored. As the half went on they got closer and closer and in the end managed to go in at half time with 5 lucky goals.
Ht 0 - 5

Part 2 of the plan. Go to a 4-4-2 formation, with our own Speedy Gonzalez up front and get some goals.

Again the plan worked, as the game in the second half was a lot more even although we didn't manage to score. Another 3 lucky goals by them unfortunately.
Final score 0 - 8

Stupid plan eh!!!!
