Pot Black v Waveney Hearts
Dip Farm
10-05-09
Result 0-1
This was to be the match that would decide the league champions with nothing less than a victory needed for Pot Black to win the league.
The match was played on a warm sunny day together with a bone hard pitch after weeks without any significant rain. This did not help PB to play their attacking minded flowing football and suited the long ball tactics of Waveney.
The game started with Waveney looking the more determined and winning most fifty/fifty balls and PB looking tired after winning the cup in a very hard fought game on Friday night. The effects of this game had more of an effect on players than most would have expected. Still a couple of chances went begging before Waveney took the lead with a shot which was going wide only to hit a bump and divert into the corner of the net. This was just the start Waveney started and proceeding to defend their 18 yd box in numbers which they did well on a very narrow pitch, restricted PB to half-chances and very little space to play in.
Half-time came with Waveney leading 1-0 and a super effort needed by PB in the second half to win the league.
The second half was very much one sided with all the play in the Waveney half and PB trying their best to find that elusive equaliser. Good chances went begging and the time wasting tactics of Waveney throughout the second half was beginning to annoy players and supporters alike. Still PB could not find that goal which would put Waveney under a lot more pressure defending a draw rather than a lead.
The game ended with Waveney victorious and crowned League champions and PB finishing runners-up.
In summary, PB players should be proud of themselves for having such a tremendous season, winning the league cup, finishing second in the league and also reaching the final of the major Suffolk County Cup Competition which other clubs dream off.
This record makes PB the number 1 club in Lowestoft Sunday Football which is something we would have dreamed off at the start of the season.
Just to sign-off in what has been a very long hard season for all but my thanks to all the players especially, supporters and staff of PB, who have all played their part in the most successful season ever for Pot Black FC Club.
