LEAGUE ROUND 7 - A WIN WITH 10 MEN
July Fourth 3-1 SWFC
July Fourth 3N-3W-1-2 then 2nd half 3N-1-3W-1-1 - SWFC 4-3W-3
We basically played the entire game today with 10 men after Jet Hogan's challenge on the attacker was deemed enough for referee to give the defender his marching orders and this gave our opponents a small window of us in illegal formation but however we took off Kusama and played Childs in the back 3 and left a relative attacking formation, Beckett had a early chance saved before Watson from 30 meters made it 1-0 to us. We were on the back foot for the remainder of the 1st half has SWFC tried to make their man advantage count and Ramirez was in good form. The second half seen us switch to a more defensive setup and it wasn't until the 60th minute when we put Michu on that made a difference and Michu made a run and almost scored but it went for a 'double corner' and Petersen crossed in for Michu to header us 2-0 infront, SWFC immediately hit back though as they also received a 'double corner' in which Burca crossed in for Yepifanov to get SWFC back in the game, but however that was short lived as our free-kick specialist Beckett fired one over the wall and into the goal for a 3-1 lead which was sufficient for us to see out the remainder of the game.

Team Talk: Considering we were effectively playing the whole game with 10 men we can say this is a very good performance from our team especially from Michu who seem to change the game in our favour once he entered the field of play.
