With both teams meeting in the semi final of the plate next week, this was a great opportunity to play against each other. Schulz & Moore we knew are a strong side, having not lost a game for 6 months and winning against teams in the Cup competition from higher league's.
The team were up against it from the off and SMC whizzed in a cross which richosahed in off a rising star foot. The boys kept their shape well and didn't panic. JP and Spencer worked tirelessly throughout and defended very well. Midfield attacked the ball ensuring we began to win more possession and were growing in confidence. Final play of the half saw Sid hold the ball up, teeing up Archie with a back heel who scored with a great shot from the edge of the area.
We started well in the 2nd half and worked hard to press them in all areas of the pitch. SMC had some excellent chances to take the lead. Max stood firmly in goal and deservedly earned himself Man Of The Match as he lead by example as captain. Rising Stars continued to have opportunities and Dexters, cross come shot decieved both the SMC defenders and keeper and went in. Louis finished off a fantastic counter attack to complete the win. All sets up for a great semi final next week.
