New Windsor Eagles 3 Bulls 3

What a great fight back! 3-0 down early in the second half, it seemed as if the Bulls were heading for defeat until Jack smashed home his first goal of the season to begin to turn things around.

The first half was a familiar story. The Bulls more than matched New Windsor but just couldn't get the ball into the net. Two fast break aways from the Eagles caught our defence cold and we went in the break two goals behind.

Boosted by the arrival of Callum at half time, the Bulls went in the second half with plenty of confidence, but disaster struck in the first few minutes. Yet again the Eagles broke quickly after the Bulls lost possession and unbelievably it was 3-0!

But the Bulls never gave up. Oliver kept encouraging the team, Max, Janni, Jack and Lewis worked their socks off, Joel made every tackle, Jamie and Callum competed for every ball. When New Windsor did break out of their half Josh was always alert in goal.

Eventually the Bulls pressure paid off. Max's shot bounced off a New Windsor defender and Jack seized on the chance to put the Bulls back in the game. It was one way traffic for the rest of the second half. A shot from Oliver was pushed out by the Eagles keeper and Jamie reacted quickly to keep up his excellent recent goalscoring record.

With the Bulls pushing for an equaliser, New Windsor almost caught us again on the break: having their fourth goal ruled out by the sharped-eyed ref for a push on Lewis.

With two minutes to go the Bulls won a free kick just outside of the New Windsor area. Up stepped Oliver. It was in the same place as the free kick Olly converted to grab a 3-3 draw against Old Windsor Tigers a few weeks ago. Could he possibly do it again? The free kick was struck just as crisply, the New Windsor wall scattered, the keeper was beaten... but this time the ball rebounded off a post. A crazy goal mouth scramble failed to get the ball over the line and it seemed that the Bulls had lost after all.

But there was one more twist! With one of the goals of the season so far - a rocket from the edge of the box into the top corner - Janni grabbed the equaliser in the very last minute. A great goal, a super effort and a fabulous fight back! Well done Bulls!

motm : Jamie - battled superbly, hit the net yet again, his passing improves every match
