Match report

This was always going to be a tough match, the weather added further problems with strong winds taking the ball in unpredictable directions.  Due to injury and illness a few players had to play out of position but everyone demonstrated excellent team spirit and got on with it.  Wilvale were strong and fast but Focus battled hard and there was nothing Matt could do about their first two goals. Owen and Jack could be heard keeping everyone focused and upbeat and when Jacob came on at half time he provided extra energy and drive in midfield.  Kieran had his best game for the team chasing everything down the wing and providing attacking options when possible.  Despite Wilvale scoring 3 more goals, George made some great saves in the second half and his goal kicks provided attacking options for the midfield to get on to.  Greg's determination and effort was finally rewarded with a much deserved consolation goal.
Man of the Match:  Jacob for his impact at half time, chasing everything and for getting the tackle in when it was needed.
The score was 1-5.
