TT2007, Valspar

A wet and windy start to the day with a pitch inspection called in at 0830, the PPO had an early run to get to the pitch. GAME ON at 0900.
The lads started off sluggish with sloppy passing and a lack lustre outlook to chasing the ball, but we still managed to go in at half time 2-0 up thanks to a brace of goals from Ryan McKee and Declan Baird.
A team talk at half time rallied the troops and the second half was a much better display. Goals from Ryan McKee, Declan Baird, Matthew Hughes and Matthew Clark gave a respectable 6-0 win in what was a very windy pitch.
The coaching given during the week at training to address the easy goals we were giving away at corners seemed to be addressed and the boys defended superbly through out. Matthew Clark gave the best performance this season for himself gaining a goal from a well worked corner. He came under a lot of attention with some rough tackles received from a Valspar defender, but he kept his cool and temper and punished Valspar with the goal, keep this up Matthew. Liam MacIver played the left back role and proved he is strong enough to take up this position when asked to do so. Arran Robertson came on in the second half and also had one of his best games. George McClure improved on last weeks display with some well timed tackles and a great link up with James Ferguson in Central Defence. Along with goalkeeper Zack Batchellor, all the defenders gained a well deserved clean sheet bonus. The player of the match award could have gone to any of the team today, but with his efforts in defence, controlling the game at the back and an assist in the second half James Ferguson was nominated for the POM award.
Well done to all the boys today, this result sees TT2007 stay 3rd in the league and one of only three teams to stay undefeated over three games played.
Next week we are at home again to Irvine Meadow.
