Result - Game 2. Reddish North End 10 Stockport Vikings 3

 
 

1st Game:
Much the same as last week, we started slowly but came back into the game, Vikings played the best football I have seen against our team in the first half. Droylsden last week were a good battling team, Vikings are a good footballing team, they passed the ball really well for the whole game and all their players were comfortable on the ball.

Vikings got their goal from playing good passing football a hard low shot which Alex had no chance. We did get forward quite a lot in the 1st half but the Vikings goalie had a great game he got down to everything that was shot at him.
Half time 0-1

After another great Team-Talk from the manager and a little tinker of the team putting Luca Upfront and Callum on the right, the boys were in a determined mood. From the start we played some really good football, good interchanges from Regan, Callum, Sammy and Luca.
It was from some good football from Regan that we got our well deserved equaliser, he won the ball in midfield and passed it to Callum who shot at goal and scored from 15 yards, a great goal. The game could have gone either way but it ended a draw 1-1

Credit to all the lads, every one of them played well and so I gave Man of the match to the whole team.

Scorers : Callum (1)

2nd Game:
 The lads started where they left the last game, passing and moving football, it was a pleasure to watch. I'm sure the crowd of 20 went home with a smile on their faces, but I must admit Vikings were very tired after the first game.
We scored lots of goals in this game but the goal that stood out for me was the goal Alex scored, after lots of hard work from Regan the ball found it's way to Luca (again he worked his socks off for the team) who turned the defender and made a great pass for Alex to score a good goal. Another good individual goal was scored by Lewis, he ran half the pitch with the ball at his feet passing 4 Viking players to score a great goal.

Vikings did get into the game in the 2nd half scoring 3 times and good goals they were.

Scorers : Callum (3) Alex (2) Lewis (2) Luca (2) Regan (1)     

Man of the match : Regan
