12 November 2011: Northants Combination Reserve Premier League

 

Blisworth Reserves 1    Corby Pegasus Reserves 5

Daniel S x 2, Rob A, Chris H, Simo

Pegasus got back to winning ways with a good all round team performance in this thoroughly deserved win. On a very bumpy pitch both teams to their credit tried to keep the ball on the floor as much as possible. It was a very even start to the game however you just felt that Pegasus had more of a threat about them when going forward.  It was from a slick passing move that Pegasus opened the scoring, the ball eventually being played into the path of Simo whom you just knew it would end up in the back of the net. From this point Pegasus really got on top of the game and by half-time they were three to the good, with Daniel S scoring after another slick passing move and Chris H dispatching a cracking 30 yarder fee-kick. It could have been much worse for Blisworth as their centre-back was lucky not to be sent after pulling and then kicking Simo to the ground when he was through on goal.

Pegasus management had an easy team talk at half-time, more of the same please. It was a great start to the second half for Pegasus as after only a matter of minutes another slick passing move down Pegasus left ended with Daniel S smashing the ball high into the roof of the net from just inside the area. Pegasus 5th had an element of luck about it as a speculative cross into the area from Rob A sailed high over the keeper and ended up going into the far top corner. Blisworth, to their credit continued to try to keep playing passing football and they were rewarded after their own slice of luck, the ball deflected to their forward in the Pegasus area and he gave Hugo no chance.

Pegasus could and should have gone on to score more. A blatant penalty was not given and Doco through on goal one to one with the keeper handling the ball outside his area just a couple of examples of the opportunities to add to their tally.

So a good team display by Pegasus, with the added bonus that Doco is back at the club after his travels. It is also pleasing to see the goals shared around, showing that they are not reliant on one player. Well done lads.

Team: Hugo F, Mark S, Glen H, Danny Strat, Chris H, Stevie E, Rob A, Doco, Daniel S, Simo & Trim.

Subs: Johnny Mac, Shaun S & Sean McC

Man of Match:  This was a difficult one as it was such a good team performance. However due to the fact that he has been away for over a year, his first game in that time, he lasted the 90 minutes, still looked strong at the end and showed he still has the touches then it goes to Doco.
