Mustangs hit 11 on the 12th Night!!
6 Jan 2008
Christmas IS over!!
The Mustangs marked their return to football after the festive break with an emphatic 11-0 victory over Old Coulsdon Jets B at Hawkenbury. It would appear that the lethargic players rejuvenated their batteries over the break and showed their intentions very early on.
After only a minute of play a great ball found Sollie who duly slotted the ball home. No more than 5 minutes had passed before Sollie again latched on to a pass and made the score 2 nil. After this the goals didn’t exactly rain in BUT the pass and play movement of the Mustangs was such that the Jets defence cracked under pressure. Josh made some great play and after shimmying passed several defenders duly slotted the ball home on several occasions. Luke, and his new boots, had equal chances but his new boots had obviously not been aligned properly. The half ended 7-0
In the second half Mustangs again used great pass, play and run and more goals were on the cards. Finally Luke found the new boots had tuned in and a great shot from well outside the area simply had too much pace for the goalkeeper to contend with. The defensive line of Eddy, Enzo and Kieran in goal ensured Jets efforts were token gestures. Late on Joe, Jamie and another well fought effort from Luke secured more goals and the much needed win.
With our much awaited cup game next week the Mustangs needed to go home with their tails high. This was a great team performance with every player giving 100% on effort for the team.
Scorers; Sollie 3, Josh 4, Luke 2, Joe and Jamie 1 each
