Rams 1 Burnham Blues 1

The Rams eventually lined up for the Home tie against Burnham Blues after the fixture before xmas was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The Rams had previously put 9 goals past the blues on their own ground and were determined to do the double over their local rivals!

Corey Edwards hit the opener afetr some great passing, started off by Ben Hillier breaking up a rare Burnham offensive, through to Aaran then Tom before Corey fired home with his left foot from close range, 1-0. Connor was solid in defence and Callum didnt have a save to make in the Rams goal in the first half.

The blues keeper made several top class saves as the Rams pushed to double their lead, half time score 1-0 to the Rams.

Second half continued in much the same vein as the first with the Rams in control of the match. Burnham worked hard to get back into the game and got lucky when a long range shot came through a number of players before squeezing between Connors legs in the Rams goal, 1-1 with about 5 mins to go.

The Rams created a couple of good chances before a late challenge by Sean gave away a free kick just outside the box. The ball was moved to a slightly more favourable position for the strike which skimmed off a SYCOB defenders head and was tipped over fantastically by Connor in the Rams goal, making up for his earlier error. We all thought the ball was in the back of the net and the Blues had stolen all 3 points but a world class save considering Connors vision would have been impeded by the amount of players in front of him!

The match finnished 1-1, with the home side slightly disappointed not to take all 3 points, but a much improved Burnham Blues side will hopefully take some points off of our other rivals in the league table!
