By the time we started in today's match, Brickhill had actually slipped to 4th in the league. In fact this was deceptive because - fortunately - Ampthill lost last weekend. However, because other clubs have played more matches they have had an opportunity to climb past both Brickhill and Ampthill.
The situation is still good if we return to form and win matches !
Today we were away at nearby Kempston which has been a good ground for us historically. We started well enough -Elijah scoring from outside the box with a bold shot into the top corner. Fred added a second, getting on the end of a clever long ball from Greg. Then the rain started, and the conditions were not ideal, but both teams continued to play quite brightly.
Brickhill seemed able to put together some good movement and the dismal performance from last week looked quite distant. Luke added a third before half time.
In the second half, the rain was incessant - Harry found that his sunhat doubled as a good defence against the rain. Dominic bundled home a goal to make it 4-0 and it was really a question of the margin of victory. Kempston did make some good runs, but most of these were neutralised by the Brickhill defence who were quick & strong. Harry also made some good saves. However, one low shot to the corner did make it through. 4-1.
Greg and Fred made it 6-1 and then we were awarded a penalty for shoving in the box, which was well converted by captain Ewan.
It appeared Fred had made his hat-trick - but his tap-in from Romeo's excellent lob was judged invalid. He then found the back of the net again, disallowed for offside !
7-1 the final score. A step back in the right direction.
