DEA Bedford Masters 2

The first game against these guys was a tough one and this one was as well.  The early game was back and forth with a few opportunities for both sides, but nothing developing until the 28th minute when Jeff took a through ball deep into the left side.  He then broke clear of the defender who was tight on him and slotted the ball in next to the near post to beat the keeper.  Didn't look like there was much of a hole there from the far side of the field, but it was big enough.

Forty minutes later and it was Jeff coming in on the left side again, but this time there was no shot available.  Jeff worked his way all the way across the goal, using his body well to bend a little further around the defender each step until by the time he reached the right side of the goalie box he was able to angle the ball back across the goal towards the far post.  It was clearly heading in, but just to make sure a defender tried to volley it clear and buried it in the net.

Third time wasn't the charm, although it would have been one of the prettiest goals of the year if it had gone in as Jeff hit a long cross from the left side for Mo to hit on the volley.  Well struck, but not quite on target and we had to settle for two.

The defense played solidly.  Kevin had a nice punch out on a corner and one other good save.  He played a solid game, but wasn't forced into any heroics which is the way we like it.

As has been said, we are playing the two teams above us.  If we beat them both we are at worst tied for the lead.  We'll have split games with them, so goal differential is the next decider.  We're one up on Woburn and one down on Lexington.  Beat them both by a couple of goals and the Division should be ours.  Let's do it!
