Final day of the season, we knew that a result would see us finish 3rd for the 2nd season running and 3 or more goals would see us lead the scoring charts + finish on a higher points tally than last season - still we found something to play for!
We started well and even though the heat took its toll and the game was played at a slow pace we were always in control. A loss today for Emerald would see them relegated but we felt we owed it to the other teams battling at the bottom to give it a shot (plus 3rd slot was ours for the taking). Dwane scored a sweet hat trick today getting a rare header from a great ball in from Lejeurne, Wes opened the scoring with a cheeky free kick (one step run up floated into the top corner to take his tally for the season to 20 and take the golden boot) and Ginger got a peach of a volley from the edge of the box.
An own goal saw them take a consolation 2nd goal and Tom saved well from the spot after Matty had brought one of their players down. I can't talk about the 1st goal they scored as I was doing my second or third water boy run at the time back to the chaning rooms as Water was destroyed by the gallon.
Overall a good end to a poor season - 3rd spot snatched from nowehere when we were 2nd bottom at one point, the most goals for of any side in the division and a higher points tally than last year. A few positives and a good end of season winning 6 of our last 8 league games. That form prior to Xmas could have seen us challenging this year so all to play for next campaign.
