Hebburn a familiar team who we’ve played twice before, willing one and losing the other. There hasn’t been much between the 2 teams previously but today there was. From the off we pressed them high up the pitch, forcing them into mistakes and keeping the pressure on them all game. With no referee today we reffed the game from the sidelines and in all honesty it let the game flow well (probably helped they are a decent bunch). Joe a started the scoring in the opening minutes after his first shot got bounced back in his direction and he took it on the volley, great finish. It wasn’t long before he bagged his second winning the ball on the half way line and taking it home. Next up on the score sheet was Jack G with a, let’s say ambitious shot from inside our own half tho bobble under the keepers legs and into the back of the net. Goal 4 came from Joseph B who pressed so high with such intensity he forced their defender into a panic back pass then the keeper missed placed his clearance and he ‘megged’ the keeper for his goal.

Second half we lost our shape a little, easily done when we’re having such a dominant performance after some of the unfortunate results we’ve had. After 5 minutes we got our composure and piled the pressure on and it wasn’t long before Tommy got he reward for all his hard work. There was a penalty call which would have potentially gave Tommy his second but without a ref and the scoreline it’s always an awkward call. Final score 5-1, a dominant performance where each and every player put a shift in.

Jack S - on top form again, very commanding in his box, used his voice well today too.

Jack G - another solider all around game, both at the back and in midfield. Bagged a goal for his efforts.

Finlay - made some critical tackles today, closed player down well and got himself an assist.

Lewis - I nearly did a lap for him but it wasn’t ment to be when he got a shot cleared off the line. Was more in the game when playing left wing and linked up well.

Joseph B - good all around performance today, won pretty much al his duels and bagged a goal. Lack of Bruno celebrations today tho!

Joe A - got himself a brace, unfortunate not to get a hattrick. Was a menace on the ball going forward and linked up well.

Chester - another solid game. Bully going forward, rubbing at opponents and putting them under pressure. Defensively covered well too.

Tommy - big strong performance, got his goal and played with a lot more confidence once he got it.

Joseph C - today MOTM. Commanded the back line really well, took responsibility throughout the full game and won pretty much every ball that came into his area. Well done.

Well done to the boys today. We need to keep playing as we have been and build off the last 2 performances.
