Short notice, afternoon kick off, first competitve match as Real Wood but nevertheless we managed to field a team of 11; new signing, Ola, in goal, Rich T, Tim, Bertie and Jon across the back; Bill, Tall Mark, Jimmer and Batty in midfield with Colin & Tony as our strike force. It was an uphill struggle and without some excellent saves by Ola and defending by Tim the 4-1 defeat could have been more. Newcomer Ola managed the somewhat makeshift defence as well as directing Colin goalward, route 1 style, to score our only goal. Ola overwhelming won the Man of the Match Award, honourable mention to Tim and special appreciation to Bertie and Tony who had already turned out for other teams in the rain that morning.
However it was a cup match so now we can concentrate on the league and there were plenty of positive performances that only need a bit of blending and match practice together to produce results. And a couple of subs would help even things up a bit!
