W: Jason, Samson, Bob, Gabe, Alan, Tom, Kev, William
B: Kit, Ray, Ant, Flo, Andy, Joao, David, Jimmy (1H), Tim(2H)

Summary
1H lots of defensive lapses for whites I.e. being confident in defence passing and decisions when things are dangerous leading to a far few goals - leading to a 5-3 score line.
2H Bit of a same story like 1H for Whites defensive lapses, played much better pressing for 10mins in possession, but blacks got much better in counterattacking and more lethal in front of goal, but having said that blacks had Kit which made the difference again from stopping the attempts on goal but also whites not having a keeper and letting in some howlers 4-2 score line.

Goals and Action 2H:
00:15:05 Blacks Goal! Samson 1 - 0 poor pass out from Tim in goal straight to the opponent a few yards away to Samson who did not hesitate to bury it!
00:16:15 Blacks Goal! Tai 2 - 0 great pass by Andy to spot Tai's pull back and poor defending by Whites to track the player, Tai's quick pull to the right and shot between several players for the bottom corner, that beat Tim that could have been saved easily with a little dive to the right.
00:23:35 Whites Goal! Kev 2 - 1 Long ball punt up field by Dave in goal landed nicely for Stevey who floated a ball to Kev and Kev redeemed himself with a nice goal!
00:35:15 Blacks Goal! Andy 3 - 1 Keeper JD picks up and releases to Kev, but he messes around in dangerous area and Andy capitalises on it by stealing the ball and turning around, (Kev no track back!) Andy drives right across goal beating Ant and Ray for easy shot in bottom left corner.
00:36:40 Whites Goal! Will 3 - 2 Keeper Ant releases ball to a free Stevey in midfield, he drives it forward with no opposition into edge of box, shifts to the left and releases a precise pass to free Will left of goal, Will controls 1st time and shoots for the goal pass impenetrable Kit. (Any non-ground ball he would have saved!)
00:42:30 Blacks Goal! Long 4 - 2 Bob taps ball hard in defensive area luckily to Long in mid, JD failed to clear as last man and ball spins back for Long with no defenders in sight, slow run towards goal for an easy tap in

Brom Ws
Stevey 2H only - played well in his mid forward role, creating a number of precision assists and opportunities as well as well as winning battles in midfield 7/10
Ray - did well to command the back as well as unlucky on some of the big chances he had but also slacked a little in defence that caused a goal 6/10
Ant - Good defensive duties again but also had a few defensive errors that can be worked on 5.5/10
Will - done well to score the goal from a precision pass to beat the keeper, but lacked in other area’s such as key passes up front and midfield hassling 6/10
Kev - Made up for dismal 1H with a redemption goal and lovely dangerous play going forward 6.5/10
David - nice assists and forward play had a good game and also unlucky to not score pass the keeper 6/10
JD - also had a good game back after injury causing danger up front and also good defensive duties 6/10
Tim - awful 1H and 2H felt despondent from his performance which dragged on his game, could have done more for 2 of the opponents goals in 2H, easy save and poor pass out when in def need to work on it 4.5/10


Brom Bs
Kit - absolute solid goal keeping denying everything opposition had to throw at him 7.5/10
Tai - Couldn’t fault his work rate and confidence in his passing as well constant danger in his assists and shots place a nice one for his goal from distance 8/10 MOTM
Zeyin - Had a quite game and a fair few off target shots that could have been better worked with a pass to keep the momentum 6/10
Flo - kept it also dangerous again with his shots but most off target I.e. bad long shots but great passes in mid 7/10
Andy - Great energy in hassling opposition and succeeded in his once a match drive for goal 7.5/10
Long (2H only) - Kept it dangerous up front but also missing some big chances, and made up for it with a well placed goal 7/10
Samson - Kept his usual command of defence well and also roamed up to forward to capitalise on opps defensive mistake 7/10
Bob - improved confidence in def I.e. spinning in defence but getting out of danger nicely and a lovely drive and assist for the goal 6.5/10
