A derby game with Moors is always a good even match and today’s fixture was no exception. Barca started the more determined side in the opening minutes, winning the ball in the middle of the park and playing through the Moors midfield.

Jack Walton and Eden Reynell used their upper body strength to shrug off the opposition and cut inside before passing to Patrick Smith whose shot flew into the back of the net giving us an early lead. Twyford’s tally was doubled a couple of minutes later when a Jack Walton corner was knocked in at the near post by Right-Back; Aaron Long. Bobcats mounted an attack on our left wing and despite the efforts of Kieran Ashley and Zack Veen fought their way back into the game evening the match just before half time.

The second half was a very nervous affair but an excellent end-to-end thriller for our spectators. Konnor Tebby put in a tremendous performance between the sticks, his reaction saves and diving leaps preventing a Moors lead. Our fortunes came after a strike from left winger; Keelan Vellacott found the back of the net midway through the second half.

Eden, Patrick and Jack all came close to scoring, but we scraped a 3-2 victory in a very evenly matched game.
