Hockerill Tens FC 1 vs 1 Casuals and Pelham FC

A late deflected freekick with five minutes left robbed Casuals and Pelham of a win as they draw 1-1 with Hockerill Tens. With injuries still to big players, Pelham decided to experiment and change up the formation to suit the players they had available to them. They went for a 3-5-2 hoping to put Hockerill Tens under early pressure and dominant in the middle of the park. However with the players not quite used to that formation, the majority of the play was in the centre of the pitch where it was just too crowded, and the ball wasn't getting out to the wide men enough. Both teams created plenty of chances in the first half with Pelham coming close through Rob Parrish and Steve Callan and Hockerill Tens hit the woodwork on a couple of occassions. However neither team could convert any of their chances and both teams went in 0-0 at the half. Pelham decided to change up the formation for the second half and converted back to a 4-4-2 in order to get a bit more width in the game, and it worked almost instantly. Again both teams created good chances but Pelham started to enjoy
