We started well, or at least Matty did, and he quickly gave us a two goal lead with two magnificent strikes.  From then on we dominated the first half with an excellent passing display on the icy pitch – adding a third goal with a typical close range goal by Sean Kelly.

Then, at the end of the first half, and just to give Lee something to moan about during half time, we let Rugby back into the game when Kuda Chijeche pulled a goal back.

Half time : Rugby Town 1 PSA 3

The goal at the end of the first half had clearly lifted Rugby and at the beginning of the second half they started putting us under a bit more pressure.  However, we were soon three goals ahead again, with the first of two excellent strikes by Shaun Kay. Two solo goals from Rugby’s best player, Andy Baker, then briefly threatened to make the game closer than it should have been before we quickly re-established a three-goal lead with goals from Steve Nollett and a second for Shaun Kay.  From then on we controlled the game and ran out comfortable winners - although I’m not sure Lee, who continued to shriek from the sidelines, would agree.
