Closer Than Scoreline Suggests
Defending Corners a Problem
Despite starting with 3 straight defeats, the team have proved a tough proposition to beat for teams that are currently sat at the top of the table. We played Drig in a pre season friendly 3 weeks ago and got trounced 8-0. That day was men v boys, but yesterday was completely different and barring a 10 minute phase where drig scored from 3 corners, the lads were a match for a good drig side.
The team work very hard in defence, and we have never been completely out of any game we've been involved in so far this season. The only thing missing is a little composure and calmness to build a base from which to start attacks.
The second half was 1-0 to NJFC, and to be fair it was deserved. We're all looking from a positive viewpoint, and we're confident the first win is not far away.
Notable performances from Boothy & Harry B, but MOM goes to Isaac who put in an assured display at left back topped off with a goal.
