Baddesley Park 5-4 Hedge End rangers Ryan x3 George E O/G
The boys continued the mine revival and got a shaky win over Hedge End which sounds a lot more closer than it was. The boys started very well with a lot of possession without the end result when a back pass clearance was deflected into the B/P goal from Bobs clearance totally against the run of play but to the boys credit they were level 2mins later when Joseph delivered an inch perfect ball on to Ryan's head 1-1 it soon become 2-1 TO B/P after a corner was deflected into his own net by the Hedge End defender and the boys were again on top when Ryan made it 3-1 with some silky skill.
Hedge End were not in this and it looked at this time that this could turn into a cricket score but with 2mins of the half to go some real poor and slow play saw a ball cut out and the Hedge End player lifted the ball into the net from a full 30 yards.
The second half started like the first with B/P having a lot of the ball and we soon got the 4th when again Ryan and Ollie combined well and Ryan got his hat trick and slotted the ball home. but again the boys took there foot of the gas and another 30 yards inch perfect shot sailed pass Bob into the top of the goal 4-3 this now turned into a very sluggish match with Hedge End going for the long ball with the wind behind them and B/P trying to slug it out with them which is not our game at all. But the game should have been made safe again when Ryan's corner was headed into the net by George but again another long ball down field was not dealt with by the 3 B/P players and the forward to full advantage and made it 5-4.
The game ended and a wins a win but this should have been more comfortable than it was 2 long range efforts and a deflection made this look like Hedge End were in this BUT THEY NEVER WERE. |
