Well the scratch match doesn't really need a report because 'Officially' we won 3-0. I can't remember who scored the goals and apparently they don't count. BUT I SCORED 2!.
Officially result 3 - 0.
Joe scored 2 FAKEGOALS.
This week however, Epic F.C played against a REAL team who, if scored against, would allow us to register REAL GOALS.
In order to assist in the game, due to many injury worries, Daniel McGee and Hannah were needed to fill the gaps. Both Hannah and Daniel played excellent games and were a great help to the team.
Epic F.C started strongly in the first half, with many attacking plays and long balls being used. This culminated in a very early goal to Blaise Walker. The tall utility player managed to tackle the ball off the only other player the opposition half, before blasting the ball into the back of the net. A very loud scream of awesomeness followed.
With the score at 1 - 0, Epic F.C searched for a second, leaving the defence in trouble at some points, however goalkeeper Joe Blay was able to deal with the several shots, and managed to pull out a "ninjariffic mid-air diving save" (yes I'm very VERY happy with that save) to keep his team in the lead.
As half time approached, Epic F.C focused more on defence for the final few minutes and the first half ended 1 - 0 in Epic F.C's favour.
The second half began, and Joe Blay was on the scene and eager to register some REAL goals. Helping him up front was Daniel McGee and the pair forged a very effective attacking partnership.
Just 1 minute into the second half, Joe Blay scored his first REAL goal of the season. A long run from defence saw the usual-goalkeeper into a shooting position, a quick feint put the only defender out of the equation and allowed for a powerful drive to careen into the bottom corner.
Epic F.C could taste victory.
As the team pushed for another goal, Velocity F.C became more determined to get on the score sheet. Their perseverance payed off and an unfortunate Blaise Walker conceded his first goal for the season due to a powerful close range shot.
At 2 - 1 things looked tight. Throwout after throwout was cut off by both teams and the ball didn't seem to get into a good position for either team.
Then came the throwout from Blaise that changed the game.
Running into the opposition half, Joe Blay called for the ball. As the goalkeeper threw it, it bounced behind Joe, who promptly used the back of his heel to flick it over his head and volley it first time into the bottom right-hand corner.
As the game progressed into the final 8 minutes, Velocity became ENRAGED and began to fight far harder to score. 2 Goals in quick succession put the game back on level terms and set up a very exciting final 3 minutes.
A moment of brilliance from Daniel McGee led him to a great shooting position after bursting past two opposition players. His resultant shot blasted past the goalkeeper and put Epic F.C back into the lead at 4- 3.
With just 2 minutes to go, Joe Blay was put back in goals and Epic F.C played the rest of the match out defensively.
A brilliant victory for Epic F.C.
