Redstar Redland 2-2 Real Wood

A really good turn out and lots of good performances. We looked pretty comfortable and went into a  2-0 lead thanks to goals from Jimmer and Carl. A scrappy, deflected goal gave Redstar renewed hope but it still looked more likely that we'd add another instead of conceding a last kick of the match equaliser following a pinball session in the box where we failed to take opportunities to clear. It felt like a defeat and we were all gutted. Still, an excellent game with an agreed shared Men-of-theMatch awarded to Matt Pat and Swifty.

Thanks to those guys who stepped aside and left it to us to blow it. Everything's on Tuesday's match against Banjo though it may not be enough depending on other results I think.

Banjo Munchenbadback 1 v 2 Real Wood

What goes around comes around so after last Sunday's heart-breaking goal by Redstar to snatch victory from us it seemed only fair that we should grab a goal with only minutes to go. A good first half goal put Real Wood behind but Jimmer's first half equaliser from an excellent corner by Jim made the scores level but I felt we seemed the more likely to score again and played some good football as well as competing well. It was pretty late on and we'd had to push extra men forward when Mark was definitely in the right place at the right time to poke home a Hernandez-style winner. Another great performance from Swifty earned him the Man-of-the-Match votes again. Well deserved and much joy at finally earning a victory.

Looking at the table things don't look great for our future in the division and we may pay the penalty for those draws we should have won and 3 defeats by the odd goal (noticeably when we played with a lack of players!). Let's wait and see and at least enjoy finishing the season with another excellent performance and a win.
