Top of the table Beaconsfield SYCOB Rams lined up against second place Burnham Jaguars Whites for the third time this season with games between these two teams always a close contest this one was to be no different.
The Rams kicked off, keeping possession well, looked the livelier of the two sides, but it was the home side who took the lead with a soft goal to concede. The visitors kicked off and put Burnham straight on the back foot in search of the equalizer, forced a corner that was swung in superbly by Arran straight onto the head of Corey Edwards whose powerful header gave the keeper no chance, 1-1. Both teams battled hard looking to get their noses in front and it was the home side once again with the goal that on another day the keeper would have kept out, 2-1.
But the Rams would not roll over, Arran Gill once again in fine form worked himself half a yard down the left wing, hit the shot with his left foot from well outside the box, lobbed the keeper for one of the goals of the season, 2-2! An enthralling first half finished even.
Burnham kicked off the second half but once again it was the Rams who just edged the play, a strong midfield battle with James and Corey working tirelessly throughout the match, breaking up the play and passing the ball well. But it was the blue and whites who took the lead for the third time with a well worked goal, 3-2. The Rams kicked off for the fourth time in this match passed their way straight through the Burnham side and into the box, excellent passing and movement from Tom, Corey and James with the ball finagling falling to Arran who was cool as cucumber cut back inside to take the shot only for the keeper to make the save, but made no mistake with the rebound firing into the goal, 3-3. Both teams had chances late on to snatch the winner, Burnham hit the outside of the post after a good block from Sean, James fired over late on from close range but in the end a fair result and a credit to the team spirit and work ethic of the SYCOB boys.
Man of the match a tough call with Arran scoring twice and setting up the other goal, but it went to Corey Edwards for his work rate, passing and tough tackling. A top performance from the midfield player.
The home side applauded the visitors off at the end of the match knowing that the draw now puts top spot in the league beyond them, a fantastic match for all to watch with the Rams surely to be crowned Champions!
Well done lads another great team performance from all the players, they have topped the table from the start and deserve to be the League winners, now let’s go on and do the double!
