Epic F.C vs (Some random number thing)

This week saw Epic F.C play against an unknown entity in (Some random number thing F.C) - (It's a whole bunch of 3's and 5's that apparently make a word).

Before the match, goalkeeper Joseph Blay celebrated a lunch time hatrick rather stupidly, melting the skin off the sides of both of his knees, and much speculation ensued about his match fitness. However, heavy bandaging by his private medical professional, Danni Blay, allowed the keeper to play the game unhindered by his bleedingkneesofdeathandpainbrandonislactoseintollerantcatfourteen.
Other team news came with the addition of super-sub James Hastings, Emerson Brophy still sidelined after a knee dislocation.

The game started off fairly slowly, with both teams settling into passing rhythms. The few times attacks on goal were made by either team, the defence worked well the cut them out.

As the rest of the first half continued the game opened up. There were plenty of on-target shots made from both teams but both goalkeepers were able to make expected saves.

The half time break drew near, with the defence from Epic F.C standing strong to block several desperate shots from the opposition to keep the scoreline at 0-0 at half time.

The second half was far more exciting, with 6 goals. The opposition drew first blood after a quick shot from the side slipped past Joe Blay. However, the scores would be level again just 2 minutes later with a strong Epic F.C attack leading to a simple tap in for the team.
Epic F.C piled the pressure on again, with a second goal just a few minutes after equalising.
Unfortunately an equaliser for the opposition came, again from the same position, with a shot fired low just out of reach for the goalkeeper.
This sparked a few minutes of attacking play from the opposition, with the Joe forced to make three saves. Epic F.C again put themselves in front however, with a third goal. Before a fourth was put in by Blaise Walker to give the side some breathing space.

the final two minutes were very tense with Epic F.C trying for a bonus point goal while still defending superbly.
Finally the final siren came, with Epic F.C winning a very hard fought and well deserved match 4-2.

Notes:

Defence;

Blocking and defending was absolutely fantastic. Keep it up.
Joes defender of the match: Conrad Loo - Put his body on the line with some great blocking and did well to break up lots of attacks.

Offence;

When our attackers get the ball, they often run to the sides. This would work if we all were able to force the ball into the net from the side, like Blaise has done several times this season, all the time. However, we saw that the best goals we've scored this season have come from shots in front of goal. If you don't feel confident enough to dribble into a front on shooting position, it's a good idea to dribble to the side and then cut the ball back to edge of the D. we would then need someone to follow this up and a simple shot should be enough to add a goal to our tally.
