We ventured away for the second week running across country to Crewe to play Reaseheath Agricultural college. This was new territory for us playing here and I was not sure what to expect. On arriving at Crewe Vagrants ground we saw two lads drag flicking the ball into the roof of the net and also a selection of girls!! This was going to be new territory for our lads. Would our minds be focused on the game or distracted by the opposition. Well the first half seemed like we focused on the girls too much, there were plenty of errors there and where was the passion and desire to play for each other and the shirt.
With the score at half time being 1-1, the goal scored by Evans, there was a stern talking too and questioning there effort, commitment and too often their decision making! We were to see a better thought out second half with passion and thought. We kept the ball away from their better players and passed to each other creating opportunities and chances to test the goalkeeper, who had a good game.
As we gained in confidence there were goals for Evans, Davies, Riddiough, Taylor, Bush, Gawith (og) and probably others who I have missed off in the 9-1 win!! There were certainly pluses to be taken from the second half. There was impressive debuts for Hayat and Dennis and good performances from Taylor in particular. I think Frank let his mind wander at times, probably down to who he was marking. But the stud of the day started as Evans but the man of the match nominated by the girls was Plimley.
Well Done fellas, Bolton next week.
