Whitegrove Wanderers 1 v 3 Curley Park Broncos

The Broncos traveled to Whitegrove to find excellent all round facilities, not only were the pitches in immaculate condition but the bacon rolls were pretty good as well.
The Broncos had to reshape as Jake failed a late fitness test which meant Alex had to go in goal as he did earlier in the season against the Wanderers. With the game kicking off late due to the earlier game over running meant that the lads were well warmed up which was noticeable straight from the kick off. In the 1st min, having won possession the Broncos attacked and Andrew had his shot pushed round the post, from the resulting corner, skipper for the day Sam G ran in from the left, was first to react to the loose ball and somehow managed to loop the ball up and into the top right hand corner (1-0).

The Wanderers were finding it hard to clear their lines as the Broncos began to enjoy their fair share of possession with Josh and Sam G finding plenty of space out wide and Andrew being as efficient as ever and winning plenty of balls in the middle of the park. This was rewarded on 10 mins when another shot from Andrew from just outside the box was well saved by the keeper but Keegan followed in and was first to react to the rebound and slotted home the second (2-0). The Wanderers were pushing men forward and beginning to look dangerous on the break which called for some stern defending by James who made a couple of good interceptions and Richard who was breaking up play and pushing forward when possible. Just before the break Keegan nearly scored his second of the match when he ran onto a through ball only to hit the side netting.

The Wanderers started the second half in similar fashion to the Broncos did the first when they breached the Broncos defense in the first minute of the half and forced a fine save from Alex. A minute later another good attack ended in another shot going just wide of the Broncos goal. The game started to go from end to end as Keegan crossed for Ciaron, whose shot was well saved by the keeper. Sam L was now playing on the right hand side of midfield and making use of the space available, on 32 mins he produced a lovely cross to Keegan whose opportunist effort came back off the post. A minute later Keegan returned the compliments with a lay off to Sam L whose shot went just wide. The Wanderers continued to look more dangerous throughout the half and the Broncos defense was being tested. Midway through the half however Keegan made things more comfortable when he ran on to a ball from midfield to coolly slot home (3-0). Sam G had an effort go just wide 5 mins from time and with full time fast approaching the Wanderers continued to press forward and thoroughly deserved their goal in the last minute when their forward ran on to a through ball and slotted past Alex (3-1).

The Broncos barely had time to kick off as the full time whistle ended a thoroughly enjoyable game which was played in a good spirit.

Another good performance lads !
