Rossgarth

Glen's season has gone well so far. Rossgarth will go top if they win their games in hand and they've been playing some excellent football.

This weekend was the best game so far in terms of excitement. They played in Poole and were 2 goals down shortly after half time. The first goal was deflected in from long range and the second, 5 minutes after the break followed a long ball over the top. The score should have been very different as Rossgrath had already missed chances but they were rightly awarded a penalty within minutes of the second goal.

Eric calmly put the ball to the side of the keeper and it was game on. An equaliser followed with 20 minutes to go after the team switched to 3-4-3 as Eric once more slotted home. Better still with moments to go, Glen won a tackle at the back and set off on a mission. He broke through another tackle as he got forward and took the ball on at speed before releasing Eric. He carried on his run but Eric cut inside and shot from the edge of the box and lashed it in.

The win was deserved but they made harder work of it than they should.
