Thursday 15/09/05 PSA Blues v London Road Colts at Home

For all the parents that watched this game they would of been proud of all the players. The conditions were horrible but the lads from both teams just rolled up their sleeves and got on with it.

For the first 10 minutes of the first half, London Road were on top, pressing early for the goal but PSA stood firm in defence and then started to settle down. Some fantastic one touch football created the first chance for PSA with Darius Gichini just shooting wide. We got back into it and were now making more chances with the best chance of the first half falling to Reegan Hardy who could not quite connect with the ball and it was cleared off the line. Some sound defending from Connor O'Dowd and Sam Moore in the first half. Half time score 0 - 0.

Straight from the kick off we seen a different PSA and very shortly into the second half some good football from Dean Pharaoh who won the tackle, beat one man and laid off a good ball to Darius Gichini who then hit the ball low across the goal to Jake Powell, who with his first touch put PSA 1 up. It was a well worked goal.

In fact it was not long before the two players linked again and this time Darius Gichini put the ball away to make it 2 -0 to PSA.

With about 8 minutes to go London Road got the goal they deserved by hitting PSA on the break and it was calmly put away by Bradley.

The final score was PSA Blue 2 London Road Colts 1.

Special mention to Sam Moore for his excellent running with the ball and also to Stefan Jones for his great work rate. Well done boys.

Man of the Match - Connor O'Dowd.

We would like to say that the London Road parents were unbelievable and
even when PSA scored their goals every single one of them were applauding.
