Recap

Well the PIBFA League is up and running and despite the score line the game was a lot of fun and very competitive at times. The manner in which the game was played was fair and fun, with lots of off the ball comments from both set of players. The referee was also very good in my opinion he kept the game flowing with many advantages and at times he pulled the game back.

FC Taverners were well organized and I have to say caused our team many problems with the speed of some of the players, this was our main downfall, not being able to match players or runs, the high ball over our defense and run on from FC Taverners was the favored way of scoring. Both set of teams tried to play the ball on the ground, but as the night went on the surface with the rain became very slippery.

Over all and despite the 9 goals (please confirm, I lost count after 6 J) the DHL lads were happy for the game. Last night we had 5 or 6 new boys and it was our first 11 a side for a year we were all satisfied.
