Twin Oaks FC U13's V Forest Row Junior

Loppets Road

Our opposition surprised us a little today. In some respects they played a similar game to us by passing quite sweetly at times. However we did outplay them and went in 3-1 up after Jerome hit a curling shot from the edge of the area past the keepers right hand and into the corner of the net. Then came Matt’s moment of glory. I think we have all been impressed by his significant improvement since last season, showing confidence off of his line, taking crosses and today saving us from coming in at half time in a tight spot. We were 2-1 up and a penalty had been awarded to Forest Row. Their striker hit the first shot to Matt’s left and he pulled off a superb save with a dive to his left. The penalty had to be retaken however as one of our players had encroached upon the area. Once again Matt stood tall and the striker hit the ball centrally above Matt’s head and he duly parried the ball over the bar. Wow!!

In the second half we missed many chances with only Tom adding his third and our fourth. At this point we rested a little into what we felt was quite a safe position and let Forest Row to come back into the game late on with their second goal.
