Farnborough Review Part 2

Second Half

Farnborough started the second half much more brightly than the finished the first, and started to cause IMFC some problems. They reverted to a 4-4-2 formation and suddenly seemed a lot more attacking minded.

Farnborough came close where one of their players beat the offside trap, and cut in from the wing and shot, only to be denied from a great save from Mark.

Another good chance fell to them, where their player drove into the box, but was denied after their shot was headed onto the bar by myself. Luckily the shot came at head height, as if it had have been low it would have almost certainly been a goal.

The Internet Millers realised more was required from them, and the passing started to improve again.

Mid way through the half the fifth goal came, where new boy Nick latched onto a through ball, and half volleyed past the oncoming goalkeeper.

The remainder of the match continued to be played out in excellent spirit, and despite Farnborough creating many more chances in the second half, the IMFC went on to record a 5-0 win after a solid team performance.

Final Score: 5 – 0

Match Summary

It was an excellent result for the Internet Millers against a side that had gone fifteen games unbeaten, and provided the bounce back in both team spirit and football form that was needed.

Some of the best passing football that we have ever put together was played, and the game was played in excellent spirit. Credit goes to Farnborough for much of this, as despite the result their lads did not moan at each other, at the referee, or any of our players. They are a credit to themselves and the IFA, and I would recommend any team play them given the opportunity.

After the game both sets of lads enjoyed some food in the Belvedere pub, and then Farnborough continued their long journey North to Halifax, where unfortunately they lost 2-0.
