Match Reports
Another tough day at the office for Recliners who were soundly beaten by Cowboys. With a couple of key players not turning up and the manager introducing the revolutionary ‘Christmas pudding’ formation just prior to kick off, there was an air of trepidation before KO. Things went well for 20 minutes, Recliners dominated, but when Jase found himself 2 yards out with an empty net ahead, he scuffed the shot wide. Could this be ‘one of those days?’ Cowboys came into it and scored two good goals on the counter, before Dan pulled one back after great work from Jase on the left. After HT there was another spell of Recliners pressure but a breakaway lead to a penalty which Cowboys excellent midfielder tucked neatly away. The last twenty minutes saw a host of chances for both sides. The Cowboys keeper was in great form making several splendid saves. The coup de grace came in comic fashion as Gaffers slipped over whilst dribbling the ball out of his own area, gifting the Cowboys their fourth. Game played in a good spirit, Cowboys management dealt with some whinging about the referee swiftly, otherwise there was barely a foul in the game.
