Chalfont St Cobras 2 Bulls 1

How the Bulls lost this we will never know!

The Bulls dominated possession from the start. With most of the first ten minutes spent in the Cobras half it seemed only a matter of time until the Bulls would take the lead.

A long kick from the Cobras' keeper - on a smaller than usual pitch - bounced over our defenders heads and flew past Jordan in goal. Unbelievably, 1-0! With the Bulls still stunned at being behind, a rare Cobras corner was pushed into the air by Jordan and a Cobras striker reacted quickly to put Chalfont two up.

At half time, the Bulls were still confident of making a come back. Everybody could see that the Bulls had been the better team and the Bulls remained in good spirits. Janni summed it up: "That was the funniest goal I've ever seen!".

The Bulls bombarded the Cobras goal throughout the second half. A succession of superb corners from Max led to chance after chance. Headers flew over, volleys hit the side netting, the Cobras keeper pulled off a couple of fantastic saves. Eventually Jamie got the break though, after Callum had touched on yet another of Max's corners. More goals seemed sure to follow as the Bulls spent the rest of the half in or around the Cobra's penalty area, but somehow the equaliser never came.

The Cobra's manager said after the game, "We rode our luck a bit there!". That's football. Hopefully, the Bulls will get their share of good luck soon.

Max was man of the match, for his all-round play and for delivering so many quality corners.
