1st Team 3 - 1 Queen Mary College Res
Venue: Away
Referee: Paul Barlow
After an easy 4-0 victory against QMC last week we expected to turn up and cruse home… We had a shock in the first half…
Bertians started off brightly knocking the ball about and not really letting QMC have any of the play. After 8 mins things changed and took a turn for the worse when QMC broke on the counter attack and some sloppy defending saw a loose ball go across goal and was put away by a QMC midfielder. From this point on the whole half was QMC and the Bertians boys defending and trying to catch QMC on the break, QMC put us under quite a bit of pressure but never really threatened goal.
We welcomed the break so we could calm down and adjust our team slightly, then a very different team came out in the second half. We took control of the ball and again did not let QMC have much of a look pulling it back to 1-1 after a good throw from youngster Jason Ahmet found the head of Sonny who flicked it on for D Morgan to put it away. Bertians kept the pressure on with Mike, Joe and Garry all having good efforts but it was Rhys who finally put us ahead after a great solo run and a classic, quality Rhys finish. The boys in green quickly notched up another goal when a Sonny free kick from half way found D Morgan to make it 3-1. The last 3 mins saw 4 corners from QMC as they kept on until the whistle was blown.
A harder game than we expected, but we made it look easy in the end…
