Match report

After a respectfully observed minutes silence for Rememberance Sunday, the game got off to an unfortunate start with Chris suffering a serious knee injury requiring a trip to A&E!  Thankfully nothing broken but a bad sprain another set back to his return from his broken leg.  Hatfield pressed hard in the first half and were rewarded with a goal when the ball rebounded off the cross bar straight to one of their players.  In the second half Focus played some excellent football putting Hatfield under constant pressure, but just couldn't find the net.  Hatfield continued to press when given the opportunity and scored twice more to put the game out of reach.
Despite the loss, we played some very good football, especially in the second half with some excellent passing in midfield.  Another positive was the return of Matt in goal following an absence of 3 games with a broken finger, and of course a guest appearance up front towards the end of the second half!  

Man of the Match this week was Dan who covered the entire pitch, got his head on the ball when it mattered and for never gave up.  An all round solid performance!  
The score was 0-3.
