CPR Chiefs 1 vs Sandhurst Swallows 1

On a frosty morning we welcomed Sandhurst to Curley Park. Following on from a magnificent win against local rivals Ascot, the Coach, fresh from an intense football coaching course with Sven, was looking forward to continuing our recent winning run.

From kick-off the Chiefs were playing in the Swallows half for most of the 1st half. When the Chiefs play their attacking football, they need to be careful of the opponent’s breaks. Towards the end of the 1st half, the Swallow’s number 9 broke free and managed a cracking shot into the top corner of our goal (0-1). Curley Park responded with a superbly controlled shot by Dan, neatly set-up by Sam W (1-1).

Both teams in the 2nd half wanted to win the game. Again, Curley Park looked likely to score from their strong attacking play by the midfield and striker, but looked less in-control when Sandhurst responded. A couple of attacks which very nearly won the game came from Jamie’s cross to Jack B but the shot went wide and, in the last 10 minutes, Sam W & Dan battling on the goal line to get the ball to cross the line.

In the last play of the game, Drew had a great solo run from the half way line, but the shot was well saved by the goalie.

The games finished 1-1

1st Half: Drew; Sam W; Sam H; Dan; Harry; Alex; Nick
