This was nearly an exact repeat of our game last week.
Within 20 mins the score was 1-1, PSL were the better team in the first half but half time we were 2-1 down going on to lose 3-1. The ref must be mentioned as I'm sure both teams will agree he had a bad game which ruined it for the majority of players. Some strange decisions including a stone-wall pen that wasn't given were made and he failed to keep control over the game which could easily have gotten way out of hand. In the first half PSL were by far the better team keeping most of the possession. After a blatant freekick was not given (even though the ref was about to blow but waved to play on) our lads stopped in disbelief allowing Stamford player to get through and make it 1-0 early on. After putting some more pressure on Stamford, PSL drew level from a magnificent strike by myself from the edge of the box. A cross had been cleared only as far as me, one touch to control and then next to lob the keeper! 1-1 and game on. Shortly before halftime Stamford took the lead again against the run of play. A missed interception at the back put the Stamford striker through to score. At half time for the second week in a row were were losing despite being the better team. Second half Stamford upped their game and PSL lacked the fight to continue playing the same as first half. Several chances can and went and we were ultimately punished by hit on the break after pushing forward to get a goak back. Very frustrating game as twice now we should have picked up points but failed to do so.
