Carshalton 5th XI

SAL – 19th October 2002

We arrived at Polytechnic's ground, not sure what was more trouble - finding the changing rooms or trying to identify who our new players were.  Started the game with 5 new faces and scored after 15 minutes from James's corner (he planned it?). The opposition then moved up a gear & scored 5 minutes later, it was 1-1 at half time.

We were kicking up hill in the second half and it showed.  Polytechnic went 2-1 up with a fantastic shot from the edge of the area.  It was hard from here on, with Polytechnic going 3-1 up with a header near to the goal line hitting the crossbar & in (Trevor, was the ball over the line when you headed it?).

All the new players played well, with John doing great runs down the right.  Lets hope we can form a settled side for next week's home game.

Man of the match: Ryan for his all round defending (not sure about the blond highlights !!!!)
