Following on from our disappointing draw at Beaconsfield, which we wont mention again.......we needed three points at Risborough.
The boys were well up for it from the kick off and dominated play in the early stages. However, Risborough got the first real chance but Bob made a good save on the edge of his box.
The short pitch played into our advantage and Bobs clearance put Finn away. He pushed the ball to the keepers right and slid the ball into the empty net 0 - 1.
The rest of the first half was a battle in the middle of the pitch which our midfield was winning. Half chances for both teams cropped up but nothing to worry ether keeper.
Half time
Second half, as expected Risborough came out a little stronger. The were on top for a decent period and Bob had pulled off a good save. The Risborough pressure stretched the game and it became and end to end match. The boys were working really hard all over the pitch and our pressure paid off. A third attempt to clear the ball by Risborough saw as Charlie F knock in a perfect cross for Levi to latch onto and tap home. 0 - 2 with 15 to play.
The game continued in the same fashion with each team literally taking it in turns to attack. Eventually, with 5 minutes left Risborough got a break and we committed a foul in the box ... Penalty!
The ref gave Bob a thorough run down on what to do, the same striker who Bob saved from 10 days ago stepped up................ the same outcome..........Bob leapt to his left and got a solid hand to the ball knocking it over the bar from a corner. In true Bob style he then came out to clam the ball from the corner, fell to his knees and laid down on the floor with a massive grin on his face.
Shortly after the full time whistle blew and we now need one point from our final game Sunday.
Legends all over the pitch tonight. Work rate was top notch and there wasn't one player that didn't deserve man of the match.
However, big shout to Bob obviously and as Charlie F who landed his trademark tackle tonight and put in a peach of a cross for the second goal.
Goals from Finn and Levi
One more clean sheet and we are champions!
