Sunday 30th Nov 2008 (OTC 2 - CMK 0)

Every week I am amazed by our commitment and our desire, today we demonstrated both in abundance and played some very good football as well. CMK would have expected to win today, as Waterhall showed the other week if good players lose the battle they also lose their heads. The quality of this performance was superb, our football going forward was great to watch, our defending was immense and we demonstrated that we can play ourselves out of trouble. As a team your understanding of the game improves every week as does your positional awareness and an understanding of your responsibility when you are on the pitch. So many great performances today, capped off by two fantastic goals, Mr Ayers finishing calmly and then Connor scoring a thunderbolt of a header from a fantastic free kick whipped in with pace by Josh. Individual mistakes could have cost us dearly today on a slippery surface, the truth is that they were very few and far between today, the handling of Mr Brown between the posts was tremendous and hopefully acted as a real injection of confidence. Fourteen contenders for MOTM today, each and everyone of you gave it your all, it was always going to take a special performance to win it. I thought today that Josh was instrumental in so much going forward and managed to carry out his defensive responsibilities also, his touch and vision have been evident in training but today he delivered on a bigger stage............a thoroughly deserved MOTM.
