Hawks soar to victory!

Well, the title says it all..... but here's the highlights.

With Fred out for some weeks with a rib injury, Angus took his place up front - would the new look line up pay off?
  • The Hawks came out flying and went on the attack straight away. Passing was good from the start and the midfield looked to be in business, pushing forward and giving space for the defence to make their own runs when necessary.
  • Half way through the first half, Ewan received the ball outside the penalty area and took a shot which went over the keeper into the back of the net.
  • Very strong defending from all the defence with good passes forward
  • Intelligent passing within and from the midfield
  • Forwards ready to receive the ball at all times
  • Dom's safe hands, even with a wet slippery ball
  • Good pass through from Greg to Niall who tapped it round the keeper to a waiting Elijah who found the back of the net
  • Staying calm even though the last few minutes were interminable
Well done boys for keeping your discipline far better than the opposition. EVERYONE played well, and it was a thoroughly deserved victory - hopefully the first of many. Good show Fred for turning up to support your team on one of the wettest days we've had.

Result
Barton 1 : 2 Brickhill Wanderers
