We feared that two tough away games this weekend was going to bring some challenging results and send us into the SESL cup on a bit of a downer. We were as shocked as anyone to continue the great run of form against two very strong sides, both with beast keepers and strong managers.
Our nerves were calmed just one minute into the game against Raith, as The Wall and Jon linked well to push us into an early lead. It was 2-0 by HT and 3-0 by the final whistle in a game that looked comfortable. But in truth was anything but. RR 200+OFF was a constant threat and beating Andy Goram in net was never easy. Briliant result.
STJ next up and it was a similar feel. Away, 36GK and not a weak player in the lineup. But thankfully it took only 12 minutes to break the deadlock and after 17 minutes Bear had made it 2. 3-0 at Full time finished a very solid weekend and allows us to go into the SESL cup games on a high.
Little is Injured (2 broken eyelashes) and the squad is tired throughout. A little rotation perhaps through the cup games and hopefully we can progress and continue with the league form.
We always knew our ageing squad would be hit hard in Mid Season losses and it shows. We dont have the resources of some, so what we have is pretty much what we've got to work with through to season end.
