Got to score

Southbank were the opposition for Englefield in the local derby but were without luck as they ran out losers in this close game 2 nil. Despite conceding an early goal and losing Bellman to injury within the first 15 minutes, the Bank fought bravely in this fixture and on effort alone perhaps deserved more. However, like some much of this season, putting the ball in the net when opportunities were created, meant they would leave this fixture with no points.

Several times, especially during the second half Southbank had plenty of play and opportunities but could not create the killer pass or the shot and it was not until the last 10 minutes when Englefield scored a second, did the game look beyond the Bank. However, again like so many games the good individuals on paper don’t necessary mean a good team. As one watcher said this was the most professionally played Sunday league game they have ever seen. The point was the quality on show was obvious as was the tactical approach, the Bank aren’t far away.

As the Bank look to new season, one thing is for sure, retain the nucleus of this young team and mix it with one or two more experienced players and next year they may well be a team with potential to perform at the consistent levels shown by the Cholsey, Video and Englefield this year.

 

Team: Cook, Haimes, Frade, Bradbury, Bellman (Price), Wagner, Roughneen, Woodrow, Williams, Hill
