Olney 8 United MK Hawks 0

Where do you start ? The result was a fair reflection of the game, to be honest we could have hit 10 but that may have been unfair on the opposition who battled hard in the second half having gone 6 nil down before half time. What a difference a decent Ref makes to a game, what a difference a week in football can bring. You all played well today, the passing at times was superb, the defending was solid and the movement and pace upfront was superb. Before the game I commented that we don't shoot enough from distance, well you put that right today with three flying in from 20-25 yards. Harry showed great compusure in slotting home a penalty, never an easy thing to do, hero if you score and villian if you miss. Really good to see goals coming from 5 different players today (Josh 2, Tawfiq 2, Joel 2, Jam 1, Harry 1). The spirit was really good and you played the game right way, a real team spirit developing. Jon's kicking from hands has always been good but it was good to see him improve hugely on his goal kicks from the floor, a lot of good talking today that makes defending far easier.Lets build on this next week when we are at home against Winslow, lets put the Fenny game firmly behind us. Man of the Match today was a very close thing, I thought Calvin was superb and has settled in really well, Josh was back to his decisive best and Jake as always gave his all, all edged today though by Mr Ben Ayers. He never scored today but he battled non stop, chased everything and must have covered every blade of grass. Pleasure to watch today, well done and lets keep it up.
