We returned to action at Astro Turf Moor after a 3 week break, and it's safe to say we were back with a bang. Michael Okafor opened the scoring early on, slotting the ball away after a mix up from a corner. It didn't take long for us to strike back though, with Sam Farrell bagging a quick fire brace. The first of his goals was courtesy of a sublime assist from Jayden Aaron, who came off the bench to scoop the ball over Patrick Rigby, allowing Farrell to head ontowan empty net. Chaos ensued, with end to end football. Kane Atkins slotted an open goal into the side netting, with a goal from Charles Okafor being ruled out for handball. Eventually, Underdogs leveled the scores, following a controversial decision where he hit it out of the hands of Stevenson, who himself had got down low to the right to save and gather a penalty from Patrick Rigby. It was a game for the goalies, with both of them bombarded with shots. Stevenson was forced into action countless times by Michael Okafor, and had to tip a free kick over the bar. Rigby got down well to his right to stop a rocket from Jayden Aaron in the corner, and having an all round solid game, although had he scored that penalty, Underdogs would have won. It was a match full of controversies, handballs, foul throws, goals and saves, and to top it all off, both Charles and Michael Okafor were booked for play acting or blatantly cheating during the game. We look to move to next week, as we wish to extend upon what was overall a positive performance from the lads.
Lucas Walls stepped up, putting in an almighty shift in the middle of the park alongside Balaz and Teka, while Sam Farrell's brace secured the points for Brexit. The Skipper was solid as ever, and all players had a very positive game, including the substitutes. A very impressive performance all around.
