Olney 1 Brookfield 2

What a bitter taste defeat leaves in the mouth, we were out fought first half and came in a goal down, sadly this was probably a fair reflection of the first half. Brookfield were up for this from the start, a big strong team who demonstrated a great work rate from the first whistle. We played some good football but lacked clear cut chances today, unlike us when you look at our previous results. Second half we demonstrated a desire to not be steamrollered and promptly equalised, a fantastic finish by Callum to bring us level. To be honest I would have taken a point there and then, you just got the impression that the ball was not going to run for us today. Ten minutes later Brookfield broke very quickly and found themselves 2 v 1, a simple square ball gave the striker a relatively simple chance that he calmly took. Our heads never dropped to our credit but Brookfield defended very well, they got plenty of people behind the ball and limited our space, when we did get behind them their keeper was in great form. They will trouble a lot of teams this season and there was no shame in today's result, lets hope we can now replicate the run we put together after our last defeat. Man of the match went to Callum, a very hard working performance that was capped off with a great goal. Calvin and Jake pushed him close today, the pair of them tackled like Trojans. A week off next weekend, enjoy the break but come back with the same resolve that we have demonstrated previously. A day of what might have been, it happens sometimes and whilst its frustrating it is very much a part of football. Mr Brown deserves a mention, a very busy young man today who showed some great handling under pressure, well done.
