As you all know Real have a lot of new faces and a few old heads including a manager that knows a fair few players.
So we approached this game like we would any other, all we wanted was 3 points to keep the pressure on war boys.
Real came out the traps full pelt and looked like they were going to score the first goal with ease we just couldnt get the ball off of them but then roughly 8 mins and 33 seconds into the first half we caught them on a break they had committed most of their team in our box and a few sharp passes in our own area saw the ball land at the feet of Ebbo who beat 2 players on his way to a 60 yard dribble and slip the ball to Dean Clarke who was bundled over and received a penalty, Ebo scuffed his pen into the keepers bottom right corner and it went in off the post.
Bit of a blow for Real as they had started so brightly.
On a day when we were missing Leon(ill) and Wes(dodge knee) we replaced them with Spencer and Glen.
Only a few minutes after all the pressure and Eye were on the attack it was cleared from the 6 yard line by the Real defence to the edge of the area and Glen our right winger hit a half volley that held up in the wind and sailed over the keepers head.
now i could continue and real off all the action and goals but to be honest i cant remember them all in order and it was quite a action filled game.
Half time came and all this was played against the wind for Eye now we had the wind and it was time to attack and ware ourt Real.
We had only just kicked off and the ball was passed into Luke's feet, as he turned he could have slipped Dean or Glen in but 30 yards out one step onto the ball he slammed in the goal of the game and this was definately the killer blow for a very trying Real March.
the game however was about to get heated, to my recolection we were 4-0 up and Real were still fighting to get on the score sheet, a ball over our back 4 caught us out and Real were 25 yards out 1 on 1, Dom Clarke our centre back made every effort to get back so when the striker cut accross him Dom tried to get round him and tripped the Real man, now rules are rules and last man a foul etc we thought we were looking at a red card but the ref says "tangle of legs unintentional its a free kick no more" obviously this insenced the Real manager and he took his frustration out on the ref and Clive our minature right back ha ha.
Real didnt stop trying and eventually got their goal, a clever quick free kick caught our defence napping and Anderton (who else) got on the score sheet.
in the midst of all these i had a nut meg war going on and the lads will be glad to see this bit. i nut megged Real's big striker which received an OLE from 1/2 the team and then 10 mins later the same player got me back 1-1 then the left winger caught me a treat and CALLED it you cheeky git. great fun.
Dean clarke got him self on the score sheet with a well taken finish and Cleve brown also scored a sexy free kick while the keeper was lining up his wall clive called quick one ref blew his whistle and the ball curled in the top corner... Luke then went on to bang in another 20 yard effort followed by a great header
Then the impossible happened, while Spencer Clarke who had a very impressive game on the left wing was holding up the lively Anderton anderton over ran the bal to me which i nicked off him and drove into the area, a side step from Dean opened up a chance and before the keeper had chance to move the ball was in the back of the net....... thats proof that every shot was going in.
Dean grabbed another and the game was rounded off by an impressive right wing performance as Glen put away the 11th goal with an excellent strike from the edge of the box.
most of the time you hear teams say it should have been 10 - 11 etc this was just one of them days where almost everything we hit went in.
Real's keeper even made some very good saves but using the wind to our advantage Eye were just too much on this day!
I would just like to mention that Billy, Dom, Coxy, Gus and Clive have only conceeded 2 league goals in 5 games. well played lads keep up the good work.
