Goalkeeper Tyler
Defenders   Spencer, David
Midfield/attack Flynn, Louis, Henry
 
Volta kick off and are soon tackled by Henry a shot from Louis is blocked for a corner, David whips the corner in and Flynn shoots just wide, another quick break sees David just shoot wide, all Panthers as another attack from Louis saved  another corner, David’s corner finds Henry whose shot is blocked, the Volta have a rare attack but is dealt with by Spencer who clears for a throw, well won by Flynn who sets Henry off great shot great save another corner, fine corner from David straight across the face of goal with Louis inches from scoring, quick break by Volta and a long range shot catches Tyler by surprise and sneaks in the goal.

No head dropping from the Panthers as David sets up Henry whose left foot shot hits the back of the net, Matthew on for David and Matthew finds Louis whose shot is blocked but Henry is there to score the rebound, half time Adam replaces Henry.
 
Panthers kick off but are quickly defending with a great clearance from Spencer another attack from Volta sees Tyler make a great save, back and forward the game goes with Flynn’s tackles and Adams pace on full show as he beats two players for Matthew to shoot, back come the Volta and despite fine efforts from Matthew and Spencer Volta score, Panthers straight back on the attack with Louis whose shot is well saved, Louis takes a great corner which Adam just fails to get to, back come Volta with a very quick break a strong shot is saved by Tyler but the powerful shot goes in, Henry and David return to the game.

David sets Henry off on a run and a great finish from Henry, all Panthers now and shot after shot blocked, saved and cleared by the Volta defence, a superb corner from David finds Adam whose low shot finds the back of the net, again the panthers are straight back on the attack and another good run from Adam who is well tackled, Louis and David are winning the battle in midfield and off goes Henry again whose shot is well saved, Volta on the attack Spencer tackle goes to a Volta player only to be tackled by Adam who has run the whole length of the pitch to get the tackle in, Tyler clears and David puts in a crunching tackle beats two Volta players and passes to Louis who lets a 20 yarder blaster go which sails into the back of the net what a finish,  all set up by David’s great tackle.

The ref blows up the lads shake hands on a very entertaining game.

With the free scoring panthers once again finding the back of the net, and the passing improving,  I must mention the quality of the corners from David and Louis, and once again the united teamwork of all the team  well done boys
