Canford United FC 1 vs 4 Merley Cobham Sports Reser

The last pre-season was set up against Bmth Premier league opposition to give the neccesary tough challenge before kicking off our 2016/17 season.

Canford opened the scoring on 30mins with Marshy wriggling away from his opposite number who then needed to concede a free kick just inside the opposition half.

Eugene stepped up and the keeper was beaten by his well hit effort. Canford were now playing some really good one touch football followiing a difficult first period.

Merley's equaliser had more than a suspition of offside about it but the second on half time was not in doubt with Canford not clearing the danger despite 3 opportunities.

Merley added a 3rd and 4th in the second half as Canford tried to get back into the game.

Despite the scoreline lots to be pleased with, fitness for most is where it is needed and a number of players are really stepping up and forcing themselves into contention.

MoM Webby at right back with Daffy and Eugene running him close with Cam, Marshy, Matt all playing well at times.
