GATE 2 Vs 2 ROYAL OAK
The gate travelled to the oak today and after a little messing round finding the changing rooms and then the pitch the gate found themselves on the pitch with no time to warm up and little time for a team talk.
Stevo went with ben in goal a back 4 of nat jacko ryan and mucky duffy and mortan on the wings dan and nicky in the centre and the hill and cooper combo. Shifty JP and james on the bench. The gate never really got going in the first half and only really learned that oak enjoy the long ball and have 1 pacey winger and 1 skillful winger despite a lot of shouting from the touchline the gate looked shockingly slow not winning much in the air losing 50/50’s and not really competing anywhere on the park this saw the gate 2 down by half time the first was a hand of god blaten handball the the other was a well worked goal the gate got what they deserved. Stevo made 1 sub at half time mucky went off nicky went to full back and JP in the centre however the gate looked like a different team and with this new found desire they were competing all over the park now winning 50/50s and 60/40s for the first time in the game the gate found something and the oak did not know what had hit them with some good football been played now the gate got a goal and it came in the shape of nicky hart the gate continued to push and with mortan taking a knock stevo now had to push JP out wide and cooper to the centre with shifty coming on up top more good football which saw mark hill notching another one up for the season now the gate was in total control and had around 17 mins to score the winner and despite the ball not leaving the oaks half the gate could not find the net, I mean it was literally chance after chance but it was not to be the gates day and regardless of the most 1 sided 17 mins I have ever seen the honours were shared GATE 2 – ROYAL OAK 2. SCORERS hart and hill.
