Regents Park 1-1 Recreativo Juniors
(*match abandoned at HT due to Regents Pk not having enough players to continue)
With the season entering the final few weeks, we really wanted to score some goals, collect a few more points and haul ourselves up from the bottom spot of our division. Most of us had stopped looking at the league table weeks ago, unconcerned about our lowly position and remaining upbeat, concentrating on what positives we can take from our first season in the Camden and Islington League. Still, it would be great not to finish rock bottom!
With Regents Park fielding 6 players (instead of the required 8) we thought we would at least start with an advantage. However, we gave them far too much of the ball, standing off their attackers and allowing them to score early on. We have to work on our defending drills in training, keeping on our feet, jockeying our opponents and winning the ball. With time, it will come!
We managed to level soon after, some great football played across the pitch involving all the team. Jaden was back in his familiar striking position and was soon celebrating after slotting home a nicely taken goal, the result of some fantastic passing through midfield.
Unfortunately, after two more injuries to Regents Park players, our opposition could not continue and their manager conceded the game at half time. Despite our frustration at only playing one half, we hope the game will be awarded to us after such a determined effort once more.
Meanwhile, with another 20mins left on our allotted pitch time, we played a fantastic Kids vs Parents match. Out of breathe, legs tired and aching, it brought it home to most of us just how big those pitches at Market Road are and just how much ground our team cover during a match. Fun was had by all, a tap in from Donna (George’s mum) just tipping it in favour of the parents! Well done everyone!
Team : Eren Doldur, Benji Barbour-Ricketts, Zeki Bolat, Harry Butcher, Ollie Goldblatt, George Wakefield, Storm Gregory-Hickling, Jaden Stephenson, Sam Abdullah-Kirton, Daniel Garcias-Fernandez.
Recreativo Seniors : Colin, John, Anne-Marie, Jimmie, David, Stefan, Donna.
