Job done in first half

The job was done in the first half as the 8ths got revenge for the opening day defeat by Old Woodhouseians. The 8ths started strongly, pressing high up the pitch forcing Woodhouseians in to errors and creating a lot of chances. Parms were 5.0 up in the first half with 2 goals each from Ryan Franklin and George Maskell and also a first league goal of the season for Joe Nelson. The second half was not as good, credit to Woodhouseians who despite being 5.0 down started the 2nd half strongly and managed to get 2 goals back but the 8ths were too good on the day. Highlights of the game has to be the 2 lobs in the first half. The first one from Ryan Franklin who was just outside the box with the ball bouncing he saw the keeper off his line and just lofted it over him, the keeper tried to scrabble back but it was just too good. The 2nd one came from Joe Nelson after a great ball over the top by Francis Conlan. It looked like Joe N wouldn't reach it but he got there before the keeper and lifted it over him, the keeper got fingertips on it but couldn't keep it out. Man of the Match today is George Maskell who worked hard in the first half constantly pressing the Woodhouseians defence and was rewarded with 2 goals. AFA cup next week v Old Actonians, lets go in to the winter break on a high!
