Bryan Munich 2 Real Wood 3

The new Somerdale Pavilion hosted our first match of the season and produced a good-spirited, exciting contest containing several nominations for goal of the month. Real Wood took the lead through Tom P early on but Bryan Munich equalised with a well-struck shot from the edge of the area. A wonderful rapid breakaway move initiated by Jim's 50-yard defence-splitting pass found Rick, who put a first-time ball across to Gaz, who took one touch before placing the ball in the corner of the opposition's net, 1-2.
A close contest followed but it was halfway through the second half when Jim picked up the ball, looked up and placed a perfect dipping, 30-yard shot in off the underside of the bar, 1-3.
Some fairly sustained pressure from Bryan Munich brought a series of excellent saves from keeper, Andy, before Munich pulled one back with an excellent curling left-foot shot from outside the area.
Real end-to-end stuff followed as both sides created more chances but did not affect the scoreline so a good win starts the season.
Some excellent performances by Swifty, Matt W and Tom D in defensive roles but Man-of-the-Match went to Jim for an excellent performance capped by a his pass to create our second goal and the superb strike for what turned out to be our winner.
