A harsh scoreline does not reflect how well the Bulls played against Division A opposition.
After losing a goal in the first minute (a mix up from a goal kick) the Bulls battled back, equalising a few minutes later with a fabulous individual effort from Jamie. The rest of the first half was very even : Hillingdon having most of the possession, but the Bulls defending well and looking dangerous on the break. An excellent goal by Hillingdon just before the break made the half time score 2-1.
Playing without subs on a big, muddy pitch, the second half was always going to be hard work for the Bulls, but the boys battled away superbly. Callum and Jamie were awesome in midfield, winning lots of possession and getting forward to threaten the Hillingdon goal.
A fast Hillingdon break away midway through the half caught us outnumbered in defence and led to Hillingdon's third goal. Even when Hillingdon added a fourth - an unfortunate deflection from a fierce cross - the Bulls kept battling until the end.
It was hard to pick a man of the match on a day when everybody gave 100%, but Josh deserves special mention for superb effort and amazing energy. Imagine the Duracell bunny after three shredded wheats and you'll have a good idea of Josh's non-stop performance. Well done Josh!
If the Bulls can reproduce this effort in the league matches then results are sure to improve. Even though we lost this match, there was a lot to be proud of.
