Another superb performance from the Rams who battled hard from the first to the final whistle despite the adverse weather conditions.
The Rams had most of the best chances and possession in the first half but could not get the goal they deserved. Solid defensive performances from Ben Hillier and Callum Gray limiting the Saints to long range efforts and a couple of good saves Connor Cambell in the Rams goal ensured the first half finnished 0-0.
Early in the second half a speculative shot from Chalfont squeezed past the unfortunate Callum in the SYCOB goal to put the Saints one nil up. The Rams pushed hard for the equalizer and won a corner which was swung in by the energetic Corey Edwards who was again on top form for Tom Scott to smash home the header, 1 -1. Soon after that the Rams had another corner this time curled in by Tom Scott straight onto the head of Corey Edwards who's powerful header came back off the cross bar.
Similar to the first half the Rams had the better of the possession and the chances but the Sharks hit us on the break, finnished of with a good pass accross the box to the unmarked striker who calmly slotted the ball past Callum Gray in goal.
Another outstanding game from the tireless James Heady and good work from Sean Chivers up front.

Friendly Match - Chalfont Saints Pythons 0 Bulls 3
A well-deserved return to winning ways for the Bulls!
With the Bulls a man short at the start, the Saints sportingly agreed to play six-a-side for the first half. An excellent performance by Charlie, covering left-midfield and left-defence, was one of the main reasons that the Bulls had the better of the first half. Well done Charlie, superb effort!
After several games without a goal it was going to take something special to get the Bulls scoring again. That came half way through the first half when Alfie - beating two opponents and then smashing the ball home - scored one of our best goals of the season.
Saints tried hard to get even in the second half and the Bulls defence, well organised by Oliver as usual, had to work hard to protect the lead.
A series of accurate corners from Max paid off when a Saints defender deflected a hard low corner into his own net. 2-0!
On the muddy pitch, the Bulls, playing without subs, showed much improved fitness to keep challenging for every ball. With a few minutes to go, Charlie, Janni and Max managed to create the third goal : Max sprinting past the defence before slotting the ball coolly past the oncoming keeper.
On a day when all the Bulls could be proud of their performance, Alfie was motm, for his spectacular goal and a great all-round contribution.
