BEES 2 - 3 PRINCES VILLA
Following 5 great performances (4 wins and 1 draw) against tough opposition we played possibly the best team from our league, Princes Villa, who we have always had very close games ending in draw or defeat.
This match followed the same script and both sets of coaches agreed that both teams had progressed hugely over the last 3 months as each team had good passing moves from the back and through the thirds.
The boys went 0-2 down first from a corner on the stroke of a very even first quarter, and then from a speculative shot from 20 yards which we thought was going wide but crept in.
From that point the game developed into a great contest and Emlyn poked home from two yards to give some hope. At 1-2 we had good chances to level and the boys, especially Ben, were looking to play with more control.
Some of the boys can still be a bit calmer and match their endeavour in getting to the ball and tackling by getting heads up and trying a pass to a team mate rather than hoof it up field or run into trouble. But overall we can be happy how we played.
Princes Villa caught us on the break and scored before Emlyn set up a grand-stand finish with a left foot screamer which smashed in off the underside of the cross-bar - a contender for goal of the season.
The Bees finished the game on top and camped in the PV half but we ran out of time. We play them again next weekend so a chance to improve the result.
MOTM went to Ben who played really well and was the player who set up most of our moves with intelligent passing of the ball.
