Match Report - 17 Mar 2019, Clapham Rovers Clapham Rovers lost to AFC Hammersmith
Rovers!
Rovers 1-2 AFC Hammersmith
In a season of tough matches, I couldn’t ask for anything more. We pushed, in my opinion, champions elect AFC Hammersmith all the way and were unlucky to lose 2-1 to a penalty in the 80th minute. This was a penalty which the ref didn’t appear to be confident in giving and allowed the AFC attacker two missed chances before he pulled it back following appeals from the touchline.
We almost went 1-0 up inside 10 minutes when a through ball to Seb was cut out by the keeper, who only managed to clear it against Seb’s shins and this saw the ball cannon upwards onto the bar, down onto the line and out again. No Russian linesman to help us here unfortunately.
The wind was playing absolute havoc on the football that could be played but we were more than holding our own and saw the game out till halftime at 0-0. A perfect performance.
We were now against the wind in the second half and lost a bit of fluency but still were holding AFC Hammersmith. They had a goal ruled out for offside from a decent cross and fine header about 10 mins before they did eventually go 1-0 up.
We did however equalise on the 65th minute. Seb ran down the left hand side, cut inside and had a trademark shot. The keeper saved it but the ball ping ponged around on the line and Adam Green was on hand to claim his debut Rovers goal.
There was then a very peculiar incident which I haven’t experienced before and doubt I ever will again. A fight broke out amongst the teams on the adjacent pitch to us. It then spilled onto our pitch and we had to wait for the next 5 minutes while it quietened down and we could resume the game.
Unfortunately this broke our rhythm somewhat and we conceded the pen from which they went 2-1 up. We couldn’t find the goal to equalise and succumbed to a brave defeat.
MOM. Everyone gets the MOM for this performance.
Sunday 31st March
Clapham Rovers VS Westminster Wanderers. This is another great opportunity to exercise the demons this year. We lost 3-2 in the last minute having clawed our way back from 2-0 down.
