The Rams travelled to New Windsor Barca's new ground at Imperial Park in Windsor. Barca were undefeated this season and looked to be a formidable side.
Windsor kicked off the first half and the Rams set about them in typical fashion, not giving a single player any time or space on the ball. The first 10 minutes was totally one sided, Tom Scott gave us the lead after some excellent passing and movement through the midfield. A string of fine saves from the Barca keeper ensured the score remianed at 1-0. The Rams must have had a least 10 shots on target in a period of around 5 minutes sustained pressure but could not double their lead. Barca then broke and hit us on the break but the final shot missed the target. From the resulting goal kick the defence didn't clear the ball quick enough and were caught in possession. Ben Hillier in the Rams goal didn't stand a chance when the Windsor player hit a fantastic lob shot over him to make it 1-1. Once again the Rams piled on the pressure but the half time whistle ensured the scores remained level.
The second half kicked off and the Rams continued the assault on the Barca goal. After a mazey run through the midfield from Lewis Dudzik he struck a fine shot into the corner of the goal from outside the box to give us the lead, 2-1. The league leaders continued to carve out chance after chance and it was a powerful shot from Tom Scott which led to our 3rd goal. The keeper could not hold onto the close range shot and the ball fell to James Heady and was in the net before he even knew what had happened! Credit to James though again for being in the right place at the right time, 3-1.
Our eagerness to score more goals though was almost our undoing as we were left exposed at the back on several occasions. The pacey forward player from Windsor was too quick for the SYCOB defenders to catch and he neatly rounded Connor in the Rams goal and finnished well, 3-2. The boys held on though for a deserved win and another great game.
MOTM was Callum Gray this week with another solid performance.
