South Rusden Panthers vs. Great Doddington White
Sat 21st November 2009 
Conditions overcast very wet pitch 2
 
Down in numbers so Lee started with this team
Goalkeeper Henry
Defenders David, Spencer
Midfield/attack Flynn, Louis, Will
 
Panthers won the toss and kicked off
 
The game started at a brisk pace and panthers quickly on the attack with a through ball from David finding Louis whose shot was saved by the keeper, back at the other end Henry saved 2 shots, again the panthers back on the attack a good tackle from Flynn who set up Will who shot narrowly wide, the game was end to end and Doddington scored a couple of breakaway goals, Spencer with his no messing tackling was in fine form passed to David who fed a 20 yard ball to Louis who blasted the ball only a fine save by the Doddington keeper kept the ball out, a quick one two from Will and David saw David’s shot go just wide, and then another breakaway and another goal for Doddington the story of the first half.
 
Second half saw Oliver replace Spencer and Will going in goal and Henry going up front,
The Panthers were more like themselves in the second half with shots from David, Louis and Henry all testing the keeper, as the panthers pushed forward Doddington broke away and despite a fine save from Will the rebound was put in.

The Panthers never say die attitude was plain to see and got their just rewards with David, now in a more forward position, set Louis up who rifled the ball into the net, the game continued all in the Doddington half but yet again with some slick passing another goal, back come the Panthers, David fired in a 20 yard free kick just wide, Louis running up the wing was causing the Whites of Doddington loads of problems, then a great move David to Louis back to David who finds Henry who scored.

Oliver needed to be at  his defensive best as sometimes he was left with 3 men to mark as the Panthers pushed forward, but as we all know if it moves HAMS will tackle it and he did,
 
The last few minutes saw shots from David, Louis, Henry and Flynn but due to some great goalkeeping the Panthers could not score again, the ref blew the final whistle.

The lads all shook hands and the Doddington boys knew they had been in a hard match

A great second half performance and the Panthers keep up their proud record of scoring in every match this season.

Man of the match the whole team
