Square FC 3 Hightown 3

Saturday 13th January 2007

Playing the league leaders in the first game after the Christmas break was never going to be easy. Square had an early shock as Hightown took a 2 goal lead in the first 10 minutes. It then became an evenly matched competition with Alex hitting the post, and Joe having a free kick tipped over the bar. However by half time Square were 3 goals down, and needed a boost in confidence.

The second half continued with entertaining football from both teams, but it took until the last 10 minutes for a chance to fall to James, who calmly placed the ball into the net. This inspired extra effort from Square, and the game was turned on its head with further goals from Alex and James to level the score.

The tense final 2 minutes could have seen the game go either way, and after the high drama of the game, the result was a fair reflection of the efforts of both teams.

Man of the match:

Goalkeeper Chris Jones, for some excellent saves, brave 1 on 1s, and good ball distribution.
