Another very tough match against a very good opposition.

Defensively, again we had to defend well for long periods of the game, some terrific pace in their attack was a problem. You organised yourselves very well and kept their scoring opportunities down and keepers did well with the on-target shots. Fantastic save from Ally 1st half. Some sublime moments from Andy W's cool header back to Ally under pressure and Sam Zidane's spin turn..............

Midfield played really strongly putting pressure on the ball, breaking up play and passing well in possession and creating long periods of pressure for us.

Attackers pressured their defense relentlessly and forced many throws ins and corners keeping us deep in their half as well scoring three goals.

POM goes to Andy Drain, as well as winning nearly everything that came near him, made two perfectly weighted passes for McGowan to finish. Two goals within three minutes set us up well for the second half. And after John's header from a cracking Fraser corner you did well to keep the game under control for the last half hour.

A word on the surface, you will be training and playing on that surface from January, so make sure Santa brings you Astro trainers, mouldies are no good on that surface.
