CPR Broncos 1 vs Reeves Rangers 0

The Broncos produced their best performance by far this season to achieve a well deserved victory over Reeves Rangers in a closely fought Div 3 clash.
With both teams being unbeaten in the league there was never going to be much in it to decide the outcome.

The Broncos started well and although having the disadvantage of playing up a slight hill began to put pressure on the Reeves defense with some fantastic approach play through midfield. The commitment was there for all to see, Andrew was winning everything that came his way in midfield be it in the air or on the ground. Not only that but he was also making good passes out wide to Josh who was managing to find plenty of space to attack down the wing. With the chances starting to fall only a couple of great saves from the Reeves keeper kept the scores level. Richard and Alex were both looking strong at the back, they were covering one another well and both making some fine tackles to win back possession. On the couple of times that Reeves did manage to break through on goal Jake was there to make a couple of very important saves. Our best chance of the half came on 15 minutes when Keegan’s shot was parried by the keeper out to Sam G who also saw the keeper somehow make a second magnificent save.

With the half time whistle ending a tremendous first 25 mins morale was high for a repeat performance in the second half. Ciaron and Sam L came on for Sam G and Josh and settled straight into the game. The tempo was high and the Broncos continued to put Reeves under pressure. With us now having the slight down hill advantage Reeves were finding it hard to get out of their half mainly due to the presence of Andrew and some fine all round tackling from everyone. Another good Broncos move down the left by Ciaron, Andrew and Richard resulted in another fine effort from Keegan being saved by the keeper who by now was beginning to look unbeatable.

Although time was ticking away the Broncos kept their shape which was a key part to the outcome of the game. With 15 mins left Richard won the ball just inside the Reeves half and pushing forward shot for goal, the keeper was there again but could only manage to push out to the on rushing Ciaron who made no mistake in hitting first time into the net.

Reeves pushed men forward looking for an equalizer from which the Broncos counter attacked, Sam L played a great ball to Keegan who managed to beat the keeper but was this time denied by the post. With Reeves pushing on again James came on in midfield and battled well in breaking down possession. With only minutes remaining a cross from the left was comfortably caught by Jake who was grateful to clear his lines.
The full time whistle blew on what was a thoroughly deserved win.

A tremendous TEAM performance all round lads !
