DEA Bedford Masters 2

A (sort of) match report:-  by Steve Morgan
 
Sunday turned out to be a hard game for DEA 2 in more ways than one. The revised kick-off made for the first crispy start of the year and it was telling that even the referee made a sideways comment about the tufts of grass spoiling an otherwise thoroughly solid earthenware pitch.
 
DEA didn't seem to get much in the way of rub of this particularly limited green either. All five goals in the 4-1 reverse were somewhat unsatisfactory and a 0-0 draw could easily have been the result had the contest been played at the wider and more verdant Sportsman's field. Unfortunately, the bloody thing was played in Lowell.
 
Having said this, you make your own luck and, in general, the opposition did a far better job in controlling their passing and both closed down and moved as a unit and definitely outshot the visitors: The more often you shoot, the more likely you are to score.
