Pot Black v Harrods


League
15-10-09

LOST 1-6

Pot Black were forced to field a much changed side for another week with injuries and call-off’s being the main reasons.

Ethan was forced to play in goal, Lansy coming in at short notice, returning in the defence, Carl and Targer in mid-field.

Although much changed, PB still showed a lot of effort commitment in the early part of the game until 10mins in and Targer chasing back, pulled a hamstring forcing PB to bring on Ross who still hasn't had a full game after injuring himself 3 weeks ago..
PB took the lead with a good goal from Ollie, chasing along ball and sliding the ball past the keeper.
Harrods equalised soon after and the half finished fairly even.

The second half started and soon PB luck run out after an opposing forward chasing a long ball which Ethan dealt with comfortably only to be caught by the forwards leg in his chest., resulting in him going off and out for 6 weeks with 3 broken ribs and Will replacing him.
This finished the game for PB with Dale bravely volunteering to go in goal although obviously not a keeper.

So another defeat although in very unlucky circumstances and no doubt the game would have been very much closer without all the bad luck endured by PB.

MOM

Alex Ingles – very good display at full-back and never stopped trying.


Message from the Manager to the Player’s

This year has been one of disappointment for me after last year. It never was going to be the same but with a squad of 28 player’s signed on, I would never had thought we would be in this position of ringing players on a Sunday morning to get a side. Injuries I can fully understand but some of the reasons given this year for not showing up has been poor to say the least and show’s very little interest in Sunday Football.

This cannot and will not continue.

We have already called-off next Sunday’s game v Etc’s because of a shortage of players with some going away for the week-end. But unless we can get a commitment from yourselves for the week-end after and going forward, we will withdraw from the league.

Also with the injury to Ethan, and if we continue, we are in desperate need of a goalkeeper, so if anybody knows someone who would be interested, please contact me or Wally at the club.
