What a start to the new season, the game got of to a frenetic start with three goals in the first 8 minutes the pace may of been quick but some of the passing and movement was fantastic. I asked before the game for total effort, a good attitude and to pass and move I got it .
New players Tom and Ollie slotted in straight away, with both scoring on their debuts before half time and Sam another debutant came on at half time defended well and then got forward to create chances down the left flank . But it was an old hander Ben S playing in centre of midfield who stole the show scoring 6 including one penalty that nearly tore the net from the posts.
Although six goals in a game is a great feet I did not give Ben the MOM, I had 13 MOM’s everyone of them adding something to a truly great football feast, goalscorers always get a mention and they will here (Ben S 6, Chazzer, Benjo, Tom, Ollie, George, Dan S (Sully from now on) ) but we needed Kane, Paul, Harley, Callam, Sam and Dan T to stop them going in at the other end and to help set up the scorers.
In all fairness to Forest Row they were a little depleted in numbers of players available for the match but the 11 who played showed great character and sportsmanship on a difficult day for them.
