Match Report: Real Wood 2 vs 3 Axbridge Saxons

10 men went to Frys

Following last week’s 18-man squad that failed to get a game, 10 of us turned up at Frys. 
1 of us didn’t. 
We had failed to provide a referee and had mistakenly relied on the opposition avoiding the colour clash. So a good start. 
However Axbridge with their subs were happy to provide all the officials and Corinthians' shirts came to the rescue.

We were possibly over cautious and Axbridge, 2^nd in the league, may have been a little complacent but nevertheless they went in 2 ahead at halftime.

Our good 1^st half performance got better and better once we’d conceded a third goal to an excellent 25 yard strike. Relieved of the guilt of wearing the fascist black shirts and determined to show partner, daughter and nephews his true worth, Batty put in a Man-of-the-Match performance to pull back 2 goals and leave the opposition pestering the referee to blow for time. Jimmer hit a great strike against the crossbar but we only ended up with massive amounts of pride, satisfaction and all-round back-slapping wondering what would it have been like with 11 men?

Absolutely brilliant performance! Great passing football even when under great pressure. Swifty was masterful in defence with some tremendous tackles and wise in his captaincy suggesting we change in the second half from 4-4-1 to 3-5-1. This gave us an in penetrable defensive wall of Jack, Swifty & Tom enabling Batty and Rich to give extra width and, in Batty’s case, goals.
