Boyne Hill Tornadoes 2 Rams 0

The Rams lined up againts newly promoted Boyne Hill Tornadoes, our opponents in last years League Cup Final.

After a delayed kick off the game finally got underway but with the Rams still a player short! The Tornadoes applied lots of early pressure and soon made the numerical advantage count with a well hit effort that was just too strong for Callum in the Beaconsfield goal to keep out.

Sean arrived and just in the nick of time running on to make a tackle surely preventing a second goal for the Hill. Most of the possession and chances fell to the home side who worked the ball well, forcing a couple of corners in quick succession, but the Rams defender strongly to deny the Tornadoes a second goal. The boys from Beaconsfield did manage to create a couple of chances but the Hill's keeper filled the goal well.

Second half the Rams started to move the ball around better in search of the equaliser, but it was Boyne Hill who doubled their lead with a deflected shot squirming through the unfortunate Jamie's legs and trickled over the line, 2-0.

We worked hard to try and get back into the game but The Hill were big and strong and equal to everything we threw at them, in stark contrast to the Cup Final last year. At times we tried to do too much individually instead of releasing the ball quickly, often being muscled off the ball.

With only seven players and no subs the boys tired a little near the end but every single player gave 100% and worked their socks off. Boyne Hill remain undefeated this season but face league leaders Burnham Whites in their next match. Ben 'Goldilocks' had a good game, his massive goal kicks and free kicks will cause many teams problems this season.

Man of the match went to Callum, who did very well in goal in the first half and was solid on the left side of defence second half.
