Olney 9 United MK Eagles 0

Today we were rewarded with a scoreline that reflected our dominance, work rate and composure in front of goal (not you Tawf !!) Our football in spells was fantastic to watch, smooth flowing passes on the deck that saw us stream forward in numbers and create enough chances to have doubled this scoreline. To be fair to United MK they kept playing and battled for everything, its never easy for any team to start a season having to bed in 7 or 8 new players. It was great to see us demonstrating composure on the ball and picking out some fantastic passes that created chance after chance. The goals were shared around today, another great attribute for any team to have, then to cap it all off we kept a clean sheet with both Jon and Ben having to slide out on more than one occasion to stifle the opposition strikers. Harry chipped in with two today (great composure for both) Callum kept his head to finish clinically, Joel slotted home from a great ball rolled into the box by Tawf, Ben Ayers scored an absolute screamer (made up for the one last week that came back off the crossbar) Tawf bagged two for the second week on the trot, still baffled how we never claimed a hatrick though, Jamie netted the other two, one a free kick that eluded everyone before trickling over the the line, the second a good finish after some clever footwork. No egos in the team and that leads to some great team spirit and a real willingness to pass the ball around, we built from the back superbly today and this enabled us to get behind them. Today was a real squad victory and thoroughly deserved, great to see Josh, Joel and Jack back from recent illnesses and Callum having sunned himself in the Maldives !!! Real test next week, we have the chance to right some serious wrongs from our first encounter. Well played today, all of you. MOTM goes to Jamie, thought he used the ball very unselfishly today and battled hard in the middle.
