Cup Result and Match Report
JARVIS BROOK 1 TUNBRIDGE WELLS FORESTERS 2
I didn't know whether the team would be fully awake as the kick-off time was bright and early.9:30am at Jarvis Brook.We had a few injury problems so we had to juggle the team about and only had one substitute (who was injured anyway.)
We started off very well and took control of the game early on.We played good possession football which paid off after about 15mins.A good build up down the right involving 3 or 4 players ended up with a great knock back on the by-line by A.Pollard and A.Selmi side footed it in by the left hand post.
Jarvis Brook fought back and had a few chances,but we carried on playing good football until the 20th minute.With another good build up, this time down the left, resulted in a firm shot from R.Donaldson which unluckily rebounded off the left post into the goalies hands.
Five minutes later through constant pressure from Foresters, T.Pearson slotted home our 2nd goal from a great pass from R.Donaldson.The second half was a bit of a stalemate,until Jarvis Brook pulled one back with 15mins to go,then we had to batten down the hatches.
Through solid defending we weathered out the storm to come out 1:2 winners.I would like to thank all the parents for their support and well done to all the boys who took part especially S.Bryant who was my Man of the Match .
