M Pumas v Fareham 7

This early game over at Fareham had that end of season game about it, with promotion a far fetched possibility we wanted to just play properly, enjoy ourselves & score some goals. Despite the Pumas playing pretty patterns down the right hand channel & creating a few good chances in the first 20 minutes we were unable to score and it was Fareham you scored against the run of play, they scored another via a short corner soon after to make the half time score 2-0 to Fareham!
After a talking to at the break where we each had to decide if we were happy to carry on playing the way we were or whether we wanted to put some urgency & commitment in to our play we came out a lot better.
Two goals 1 from Sammy & another by TomBos got the game back to an even keel at 2-2 but despite continually pushing for the winner & some heroics from the Fareham keeper we were unable to stick another ball between the posts. A much better half - although our first draw of the season still felt like it was a loss.
Final score 2-2 puts us 3rd behind the recently free scoring Trojans (2nd) & Haslemere (1st).

Thank you to all those who have played, umpired, helped with selection problems & come along to support, I think we can all agree it has been a positive season.

MoM - Andy A - for organising the back four
DoD - Liam - for thinking Farehams pitch was down in the depths of Gosport - still at least he was warmed up ready for the start when he turned up!
