FRIENDLY MATCH

SAFFRON CROCUS (Seniors) 3 THAXTED RANGERS 1

The first game of the pre-season went very well. Firstly, forget the result, the performance first half was to be expected with a team who barely knew each other never mind played together, it took time to get things together.

Rangers were denied a goal early on for offside although the last player to touch the ball was a Crocus defender but we got on with it. Crocus scored two soft goals leading up to half time and the half time team talk was about going through the areas to improve on second half and sticking with the first eleven.

The second half was superb, Crocus scored a goal against the run of play to make it 3-0 but from then on Rangers played Crocus completely off the park, all the players combined well and in the end the result of 3-1 did flatter the opposition. A lot of plus points from this game and certainly a lot of encouaging things for myself as the new head coach, a good season in prospect.
