The League Cup finalists played the League Plate finalists in a friendly match, with the clocks going forward an hour and a 10am kick off, the Rams could be excused for a slightly tired looking performance at times from some of the lads, especially after last weeks fantastic performance and result in the cup.
However the majority of the first half chances went to the away side who were unfortunate not to take an early lead. Some good passing and movement from the lads opened up the Falcons defence on more than one occasion but it appeared that the Rams had left their shooting boots at home! The first half finnished 0-0.
The Falcons who currently sit in 3rd place in Div 2 took the lead early in the second half, hitting us on the counter attack their pacey striker raced through 1 on 1 with the keeper and finnished well. This seamed to wake up the Rams somewhat and were soon back on level terms after top scorer Tom Scott worked his way into the right hand side of the box, skinned two players before working the angle for the shot that looked as if it was going straight at the keeper until the quick thinking James Heady stretched out a leg and diverted it past the keeper, 1-1.
After that is was all SYCOB with numerous chances going begging, Arran was unlucky not to score after his free kick bounced off the top of the bar, but it wasn't to be. We had the chances to win the match, but didn't have the rub of the green.
Don't worry lads the good thing is we are still created plenty of chances, not our best performance but I am sure you will all raise your game next weekend against Burnham Whites!
