Sorry Sillsy - allow me...

The Swan 0 - 5 Shefford

Big win, as The Swan have got off to a good start to the season, and had the 2nd best defence in the league (behind us), so to get 3 points was great, to keep a clean sheet was better and to spank 5 past em was even better again.

Basically, we dominated for the full 90 minutes. Got off to a strong start and fired in some early shots and they just didn't seem up to it. Lewis had a great shot tipped onto the post by their keeper, but within 10 minutes he fired one in from outside the area.

It stayed 0 - 1 til halftime - they had a good chance to equalise but fired over and we had multiple chances to stretch the lead out.

Started well in the 2nd half and after about 10 minutes Lewis fired home again after their defence didn't deal with a long ball properly. Then Dave Screw threaded a pin point accurate pass to Macca who fired a goal of the season contender to make it 3. Then Lewis put the ball across for Andy Miller to tap the ball in cos their defence had gone to pot by then. Then Lewis hit a shot straight through their keeper for our 5th and his hat trick.

Had a lot of other chances as well. If their strikers could have finished properly they might have made a game of it cos they missed a couple of good chances at key moments, but we were way better than them - I think we were all quite surprised.

So a good day out all in all, although as you can see from below I'm now suffering from something like whiplash cos of a challenge on me. Very painful.

Did you play?
