Lightwater Pumas 3 vs 3 Sandhurst Sports Club

Against tough opposition, this game was always a big ask. We tried with three at the back, amd for 15 minutes we held firm. On 20 minutes we were exposed down the left, and a good move saw Lightwater take the lead. Ten minutes later we were two down, failing to clear early. We reverted to four at the back which instantly yielded a result, with a great through ball from Andy to Nick, who finished well. Back in the game, but just 5 minutes later an own goal saw us conceed a third. The team really picked up well in the second half, pressing well and winning more loose balls. On 56 minutes Mikey put in a tremendous free kick which Nick headed back into the corner for his second. WIth Luke off for an injury, we continued to press. Nick was denied his hatrick thanks to a fine save by their keeper. An injury to Nick could have set us back, but on 80 minutes Omer knocked onto Mark who slotted home the equaliser. We looked the more likely to win at that stage, and Gaggsy missed a great chance to win it for us in the final seconds. That said, we have all missed chances in our time. This was a terrific performance, and it is about time you lads looked at todays game and realise that when you get it together like this, anything is possible. Thanks lads, that made for a great game to watch
