Woolton Sharks vs. Recs Roby - 100th Game - Cup - 24/01/10

 After a long break, good to see a performance like that. Everyone played well.We were comfortable and creating chances until 10 minutes before the end and then we fell apart.

We played well for the first ten minutes and then a lack of marking for a corner led to the first goal to todays opponents. After that set back, our heads never went down, we battled hard and got the equaliser just before half time, a great goal it was too by the returning Daniel Turner. So, we went in to the break level at 1-1, we were happy and the whole team were rampant.

Second half, manager Paul brought on 2 substitutes, inspired ones they were too. James Woods was brought on for Liam Anderson and Will McGlade was taken off and replaced by Luke Thompson and with only 3 minutes gone in the second half, shot, which rebounded to Lewis Foster who hit it powerfully first time to make it 2-1. At that stage, I think we thought we had it in the bag. We switched off and let them back into it. Two goals in the space of two minutes meant we were behind to two very soft, avoidable goals. The final goal, for them, which made it 2-4, was another very poorly marked corner, the man at the back post left unmarked to slot it home... To be fair though, their 'keeper kept them in the game, pulling off several blinding saves. I think their keeper was the difference today.

Great all-round performance but unlucky Sharks!
