TOUGH WORKOUT

SKB 1-1 PHEONIX

It was a tough workout this morning for the Saturday team as they faced up to Pheonix in the freindly game in Ellenfield Park. Having played each other twice already this season and being paired together again Pheonix kindly offered to fulfill the fixture in a freindly capacity. The condition of the pitch restricted both sides from playing any form of free flowing football. This has been a common problem for our lads this season and has been brought up with the club folllowing a number of games. It eas observed today that the grass on the pitch was 3-4 inches higher than it was around the perimiter. However, as regards the game, both teams tried there best with what they had and it was great to see young Josh Anyaegbunam getting on the end of an excellent team move and crashing a 15-yard strike into the back of the net. The lead was only held for a shortwhile though, as following a great save from goalkeeper on the day Robert Dunne and an excellent goalline clearance from Aaron Malone, the Pheonix right midfielder stuck in a very finely taken goal from a tight angle. Both teams created chances to win the game, including a last gasp chance from an Evan Ruddell corner which nearly went straight over the line!! But on reflection a draw was a fair result and it keeps both teams going for another week.
