DEA Bedford Masters 2

A beautiful morning and a beautiful result.  A solid well played game by all involved, the way we should be doing it.  With three of the four John's out, we had to shuffle things up a bit on the defense, but things came together well.

The first score came on a through ball footrace between Nitin and their keeper. Nitin won the race and flicked the ball clear but was cleated by the goalie before he could follow it up.  Jimmy placed the PK in the corner with great care and it was one to nothing.

The second goal came when a long cross from Jimmy was picked up by Scott on the far side.  Scott "Impossible Angle" Vaughan then popped the ball up and over the keeper's head and into the net while standing practically on the endline.

We went into the halt time pretty happy with a two goal lead.  The second half opened well early when German unselfishly fed a through ball to Jeff who finished with a great run for a 3-0 lead.

Number four came on another good set of passes ending in a feed by Jeff to the deep right side for Mohamad who made a great cross for Scott to knock in.

Jimmy got number 5 on a give and go sequence with Jeff, keeping up what's become a repeating theme for the last few games.

Unfortunately the injuries and subsequent lack of subs did take some toll.  With four people injured and only three subs, Brother John went back in despite having tweaked his hamstring.  Turned out to be a good decision as he finished off our scoring with a nice 30 yard strike.

Pride kept Burlington pushing hard at the end of the game.  There were a few outstanding saves by both keeper and backs, but with less than 2 minutes left they managed their one goal of the game.

This is the way we are capable of playing.  Let's do it again next week
