Match Report
Saturday 26th November 2011

Last weekend we were hoping to build on recent performances and the rise in confidence with a decent performance against struggling Junior Reds, however the team we had drawn with only 3 weeks earlier bore very little resemblance to the one that took to the pitch on Sunday, the opposition had clearly gone shopping to a higher level for players with multiple emergency registrations for this game, and with their 1st team not playing, maybe they were able to call on some help from there.
The game was effectively lost within the first 25 minutes when it became evident they were a much stronger outfit than we anticipated; having said that, our performance could have and should have been better - apart from a very spirited 20 minutes towards the end of the first half we were never in the game...we all know that we need to improve this week, get back some of the energy that we lost in the game and get back to playing our football.
