BEES 3 - 8 ELLESMERE PORT
With a lot of the boys away just 6 brave souls took on Ellesmere Port on a very muddy pitch in what turned out to be a much more even match than the score suggests.
Every one of the boys worked really hard to play the ball from the back and pass to players in space. Our only weakness was our goalie performances which were more Joe Hart than David de Gea and at least 4 goals would have been stopped by a full-time goalie (we are still looking!!). Typically, at the other end their goalie had a blinder!
At 0-4 down at half time (after two 0-2 quarters) the boys came out on fire in the 3rd quarter and scored two brilliant goals and George also hit the post from a free-kick. We won the quarter 2-1 to show that we could raise our game and match Ellesmere Port.
Although it was a defeat in the end the boys were a credit to themselves. From a coaches point of view it was great to see us trying to play football, even at 8-3 down!
Bearing in mind the players we had away the result was further proof that we can get a result against Ellesmere Port when at full strength. We will arrange another game before the season end.
Our goals came from Thomas (2) and Henry (1). MOTM was shared between Henry, George and Sam.
