Tattenham Hotspur |
With Tattenham taking maximum points from their opening 3 games this was going to be a challenging fixture for Casuals.From the off Casuals caught Tattenham on the back foot and the game was played almost entirely in the Tattenham half.15 minutes into the game Casuals won a corner from which a superb flighted ball was played in by Ben for Chris to pick his spot and power in a header to score what would be the winning goal.
Casuals continued to pressure and play very attacking football pushing for a second. A very late challenge ended Ben's game and Casuals went into the break as with a well-deserved lead.
The second half continued in the same vein but Casuals could not find the finishing touch but Casuals defence was solid restricting Tattenham long-range efforts. The game soon turned and some less than savoury tackles meant that both Simon and Andrew had to be replaced following injury. Minutes from the end Tattenham had a superb long-range effort brilliantly saved by reserve keeper Richard well deserved 3 points following an impressive performance.
