Pumas entertained US on Saturday aiming to get revenge on the loss inflicted in the first league game of this season. This US side were a lot better than the side we previously played against in September, some of the Pumas struggled with the pace of the game early on with US were causing quite a few problems around the Pumas D. However half chances were happening for both sides & it was the Pumas who got the 1st goal after around 20mins via a penalty flick after good work down our left & a deft touch by Pete W; the PF duly converted by Jim Payne. Solid work by Phinn in goal got Pumas to 1-0 at half time, but they knew they were in a game.

The second half was very similar to the first with half chances for both sides, on another day either side could have scored a couple.
Things changed when Sammy earned himself a green & then five minuets later got himself a yellow for a clash of sticks with ten minuets to go. US, sensing an opportunity pushed forward & quickly scored twice to make it 1-2, however Pumas then changed formation & took the game to US who were also sitting back & it only need Ed H or Pete W to put away one of their clear cut chances for the Pumas to get a draw that their play at least deserved, Sammy came back on & decided to try to continue to play with 10 players!!

Full time score 2-1 to US

MoM: Harry C for his second half display
DoD: Yep you guessed it - Sammy for receiving a pair of early Christmas cards - whoops!!
