GALLEYWOOD FALCONS   1

The Hawks having a Saturday off after their heroics in the Maldon tournament on Friday evening , set off to play Galleywood on a bright but very windy day. With 8 Hawks today (Bren sick and Jimbo unavailable) we knew this was going to be a tough game......

Galleywood got the Game under way and had the wind in the first half, the Hawks started a bit sluggish today( probably due to a late night on Friday) and Galleywood had started well. Galleywood were probing and played some nice football , but their attacks were hitting a determined Henry who was from the off on top form, at the other end the Hawks were finding it just as hard to break the Galleywood defence down. The Hawks were finding it hard on a bumpy surface and the wind to play the normal flowing and passing football. With both teams slugging it out the Hawks found an opening and Charles broke free and coolly slotted home 1 0 Hawks ...

The Hawks now began to pass the ball around and started to play a bit , Charles had another fine effort saved , and David also nearly got a goal but found the Galleywood keeper a hard one to beat, Brandan and Jack had sighters which went just wide, Charles made it two on 16 minutes from  a great cross from Sam which Charles slotted home 2 0 Hawks, Galleywood went for broke and were piling on the pressure but at the back Henry was in no mood to give up space , Jack went on a mazy run and beat 3 player's and let his Waspy shot go but it went just wide , Liam was called into action right on half time and pulled off a fine save low right to keep the Hawks lead in tack, Halftime 2 0

The second half and the Hawks now had the wind , we told the boy's we needed another goal after recent weeks were we have not held on , the Hawks started to apply some good early pressure and David got his reward for some great runs this time flicking the ball over the Galleywood keeper to make it 3 0, The Boys were brimming with confidence and Brandan now playing further forward was next to score from a great through ball by David , which Brandan calmly smashed it into the top right with the outside of his foot 4 0 Hawks.  Galleywood kept battling and got a goal back themselves which they deserved for all their efforts , from a great corner missing all, the Galleywood striker has hit a great shot into the roof of the net 4 1, It was Galleywoods turn to apply some good pressure and were unfortunate not to pull another one back , but Henry has tracked back out of no where and slid in just as the striker was about to shoot, Great defending !!!!!!!!!!!

The Hawks went bombing forward again and Brandan got his second of the game , This time an in swinging corner from the Waspy bobbled around and Brandan poked the ball home 5 1, Galleywoods big striker was a handful so Ronnie has come on again to aid Henry at the back and let Jack have a go further forward, this helped and Sam who was getting into some great positions has hit a screamer just over , from aJack pass, Sam has then done a great run  down the left beating his man and shooting, this time the post saved the keeper(will it ever go in) Charles has then hit the same post after rounding the keeper and smashing the ball left footed how unlucky can you get. David has also made three great chances with a great show of wing play but each time the keeper has been equal to it, the ball just would not go in for us at the end.full time 5 1 Hawks

The Hawks grew into this one and came away with the point's , Galleywood were very good today and created some great chances , they also play some good passing football which made this game very entertaining, WELL DONE BOTH TEAMS

The man of the Match today went to Henry who was awesome at the back and played probably his best match for the Hawks for a while, Henry showed great strength and speed at the back and was not in no mood to let Galleywood past WELL DONE HENRY !!!!!!!!!!!!! The score was 5-1.
