Southside 3, Effra Academicals 3.

This was much better.
Apart from a 15minute wobble in the second half, Southside played  with composure and discipline.
David made an assured debut in goal, covering for Geoff's absence.
Montel was really unlucky not to open his account for the Mighty Reds.
But for the heroics of Effra's keeper, we could have been 4 or 5 goals up at half time. Instead , the game was still goalless  as we kicked off for the second period.
Scott broke the deadlock and it looked like we had a firm grip on the game, but Effra clawed a goal back and for a while things sarted to unravel.Soon we were 1-3 down.
I was really pleased to see that we pulled things back from the brink.
We regained our shape and our composure. Scott scored two more excellent goals.
In a frenetic last 10 minutes Southside looked the more likely to score. Three all was a fair result. It wasn't a perfect performance from us - there are a few things to put right, but there are plenty of positives to take away from this enjoyable game. Well done lads.

Team: David, Little James, Phil, Owen, Mark B, Reece, Montel, Dane, Nik, Big Paul, Bobby,Malek, Sam D, Scott, Danny.
