A spectacular game to watch....if your a Kings Cliffe fan.
It really was a game of two halves; which was intentional without revealing too much.
First ten we went out rather fast paced and were on top after ten minutes, a nice diagonal ball from midfield for right winger to run onto; ran across area towards goal and smashed into net. Ten minutes later Uppingham have a free kick from near touch line, perfect ball into the box attacked very well, a clean header puts them even. Our hearts minds and souls seem to to drop abit and we lose a bit of shape, worsened by another free kick just outside area driven along the ground finds its way through the players hits far post and bobbles in. Half time Uppingham 2, Kings Cliffe 1.
A few changes at half time to give other players a run and to play more attacking football. Everything really did pull together at this point, everyone started doing what they were supposed to do and it worked very well indeed. Our movement on and off the ball was exceptional, passing was spot on, everyone wanted the ball and wanted to win. A very tidy goal from a free kick, a one on one with another right winger, and two goals from inside the box, crosses from wing positions see us finish off the game triumphantly.
Both teams only had a couple players missing. In all honesty I could not find a star player for this game, they all put in so much effort. It was great to see them play and we are very proud of them all.
