v Hope Farm 3-3

As a team we are not sure whether to feel upset or elated at this draw - we went into the game full of confidence for another win(possibly over confident?) but started a little flat. Hope Farm started as they meant to go on and crowded around our players every time we got the ball. We tried some speculative shots but were unable to break down a hard working opponent. Just before half time disaster when Dan handballed on the line and left the ref no choice but to send him off. This left us with a difficult task particularly as we didnt really look like scoring. Gregor came to the rescue again with a superbly taken volley and the spirits were once again lifted. Hope Farm went back into the lead with a freak goal which was volleyed from the half way line over Ben. Despite that the team plodded on and Greg once again pulled it back to 2-2. We were now chasing the winner but then from a corner Hope Farm regained the lead which left to a frantic finish with Motty just sneaking the equaliser with minutes to go. All in all it has to be a positive at how the team continued battling and getting a positive result but hopefully lessons were learned in terms of mental strength and attitude.
