3rd Team
3rd team played away in a crucial fixture against Kingswinford 3rds.
I have to say now that this is the worst game we have played this season with no cohesion in the team which generally looked like they had never played together before. Some good saves from Dan Frost and with two crucial shots taken off the line by TJ Roberts kept us in the game. TJ deserves a comment here because he played his best game so far for the 3rds, he disciplined himself not to roam everywhere and held his position and with a little guidance from the side and Phil Giles in particular he held the line. Well done TJ.
The game got fractious in the last 15 mins or so when a nasty tackle on Harry Edwards got out of hand. We lost 5 v 1 with our consolation goal coming from Grant Jones. This loss cost us top spot but we are in 3rd spot with all 3 positions at the top on 15 points with goal difference separating teams.
Better luck next week lads.
Badgers
