What a great game! Fantastic team spirit, bundles of effort and plenty of good football. Every single player put in a really good shift for their team last night. Well done lads.
As usual, it didn't start well. Five key players dropped out at the last minute and a couple of people arrived late. A patched up Southside team took 10 minutes to settle in, by which time Effra had raced to a 2-0 lead. Effra looked poised to run away with the match, but as so often happens, we steadied the ship, dug in and then started to play. James ghosted in at the back post to score an excellent goal. Effra were rattled. Effra tried to bully their way back into the game, with numerous bad tackles going unpunished. Southside continued to work hard and to play good football
At half time we believed we could win. We dominated the second half. Reece brought us level and then Scott's emphatic finish made it 3-2. Despite a couple of late scares, we continued to dominate until the end.
Congratualtions to Cetin's friend Paul, who made an accomplished debut.Also big thanks to Yusuf who slotted in at Centre mid, forming a really effective partnership with Billy. This is was my favourite Southside performance.

What a eat game it was indeed! I really really enjoyed it. We all played outstanding football. We never gave up, we didn't let our heads drop or loose our composure (maybe first 10 minutes)!
ReplyDeleteIt was by far the best game we played. The game had a fast tempo, we passing well, battled well showed pure determination.
I also really enjoyed playing in central midfield - teaming up with Billy was great.
The most important thing about the game is that we played as a team through and through!
