We had a tough game despite a full strength side and came out 4 - 1 losers. Our opponents had that little bit of extra fitness (like most others) and were all competent players and yet at one nil at half time and following an equalizer early in the second half, we were right in there with a shout. Their second goal made such a difference in leaving us chasing the game and it owed a great deal to good fortune. A long shot was kicked clear by Kev in goal but the power and swerve behind it meant he caught it at an angle. The ball deflected out and across the goal striking Simon and glancing into an empty net. I don't think we deserved such ill fortune but there was no arguing with the other two goals where we left short at the back as we pressed for an equalizer.
I'm not sure whether the physical impact of their game made a difference as well but they were certainly up for it, appealling for everything and moaning at the ref at every opportunity. There's nothing like the sound of sour grapes is there!
