Couldn't have asked for more !!

A great all round performance, modeling a new formation 6XI took charge early on with dominant attacking down the right hand side. A fantastic dribble around 4 players Stuart Pubo Hopson took a stride and let off a shot beating the keeper but not the post bouncing back to hit the keeper on the rebound and safely leave the ball tucked in the net 1-0.OG Keeping the momentum going we doubled our lead with a sweetly struck volley on the turn from Zach Pearson leaving it to the keeper to palm it in his own net. The last 20 minutes of the first half we rotated positions keeping the same formation, it failed to improve our game with Pat Traba making some great saves. Second half we rotated positions again this time to our benefit - great running and movement from the wingers exploiting space. winning a freekick on the corner of the box George Le'Beau stepping up - he lines up the shot - cheekily lays off the pass to Jack Gooding, letting the ball role passed him he teed up the shot launching it into the net earning his first goal for Old Parms. After some great defending on set pieces earlier in the game lea valley earned a goal from a header in the 6 yard box taking a deflection on the way in. Last 15 minutes Sam Baptiste wins and takes a penalty tucking it into the bottom corner ! ! 1st game in and a 4-1 win I couldn't have asked for more !! Well Done lads !!
