Match Report
Match Report - 12 Nov 2017, Clapham Rovers Clapham Rovers beat River Way FC
Rovers!
Rovers 4 – 1 River Way
It’s a funny old game. We swept aside River Way with 4 quick fire goals in the first half, a side who acquitted themselves well throughout the game despite losing players through injury and finishing the game with 9 men. We’ve come up against much weaker opposition and come out with less this season.
Al put us 1-0 after bursting through the River Way central defence from a rapier like through ball from Milby and beating the keeper in a 1 on 1.
Seb then put us 2-0 up very soon after with a trademark goal where he out sprinted the full back on the left and cut inside to finish into the far right corner with his right giving the keeper no chance. Des got the points with a superb assist from centre half into the channels for Seb to run on to.
Perry then put us 3-0 up with almost a carbon copy finish from inside the box after being played in by Kevin. Despite the earlier second goal, the keeper looked as startled as J5 did that time when Milby burst in on him shaving his nether regions. The keeper flailed about as the ball whizzed past him into the far corner of the net.
Our 4th before half time came from the penalty spot from G. There was an almighty scramble in the box where any number of Rovers could have scored but were thwarted by desperate River Way defending. This culminated in a clear handball which saved the ball going in from a Tim follow up. G slotted the ball home.
The second half saw us do the necessary to see the game out and River Way scored from a decent cross into the box and a good header to gain a consolation. In truth though, the game had been sewn up inside the first 40 mins.
MOM. Milby for a fine performance in his first 90 minutes since the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar. Great to have him back.
Sunday 19th November Fixture
This Sunday sees in a welcome return to league action vs Politics.
We’ve played them twice and beaten them twice. Our only enemy is complacency here. Let’s make sure we approach the game in the right frame of mind and do the business against them. We’ll regret it if we don’t. Games like this should be our bread and butter.
