Real Wood 2 Red Star Redland 2
Our second game of the season saw us claim another point and stay level on points with three other teams at the top! A result which looked unlikely after the first 20 minutes - we started so slowly I thought we had agreed to playing walking football. For much of Red Star's possession early on we were still pretty comfortable defensively and slowly grew into the game to go in at half time at 0-0.
We were a different side at the start of the second half and took an early lead. Some lovely play down the right hand side saw the ball being squared for Tom P to slot home from the edge of the box. Red Star equalised from a long range shot and quite quickly took the lead through an unfortunate mistake by Carl in goal. It must be said that Carl had a excellent game in goal.
We continued to press for the equaliser, hitting the post several times before Tom D struck a powerful header from a lovely cross from Jim on the left. A great team performance in the second half saw us claim a draw which seemed a fair result with Tom P claiming Man-of-the-Match.
Next up is Kellaway Hire FC on 1st November at BAWA.
