An exciting game against Staines

Apologies for the delay of this match report, job hunting has got in the way these last couple of weeks - I'm sure you'll understand :)

This was one of the first matches of the season where both teams seemed well matched. Maidenhead scored their first goal within 5 minutes of the whistle which was hugely uplifting!

We maintained our 1:0 lead for 5 minutes, before Staines equalised! We fought on, and scored a second goal. This counted for a major celebration, as it was the first time we'd scored more than one goal in a match this season! The jubilant spirit continued, until just before the end of the second half, Staines scored again. However, 2:2 at half-time was pretty respectable!

Sadly our love of the good things in life, and our hectic lives, preventing that all important 2 hours of training each week, meant that our stamina waned in the second half, and Staines scored 2 more goals, leaving the final score at 4:2 to Staines.
