Saxon 3 - 2 Kettering Harlequins

1ST ROUND OF THE NFA SUNDAY TROPHY

SAXON GOT OFF TO A DECENT START, CREATING A FEW DECENT CHANCES BUT WERE HIT ON THE BREAK AND WENT 1-0 DOWN TO A NICELY FINISHED GOAL FROM THE OTHER TEAM.

HARLEQUINS THEN DOUBLED THEIR LEAD THANKS TO SOME POOR SAXON MARKING AT THE BACK AND ANOTHER DECENT FINISH.

SAXON WENT IN 2-0 DOWN AT HALF TIME AND ON THE RUN OF PLAY IT WAS PROBABLY A FAIR REFLECTION ON THE GAME SO FAR. HALF TIME, ADAM HAD SOME HARSH WORDS, TELLING THE LADS THAT SPIRIT AND PASSION WAS GOING TO BE NEEDED TO WIN THIS GAME!

SAXON WENT INTO THE 2ND HALF WITH SOME REAL DETERMINATION AND REALLY TURNED ON THE STYLE, PINNING THE OPPOSITION BACK FOR MUCH OF THE 2ND HALF.

SAXON FINALLY MADE THE BREAKTHROUGH WHEN MATT JUDGE PLACED A BALL PERFECTLY ONTO THE HEAD OF DAVE WALFORD TO PUT US RIGHT BACK INTO THE GAME!

ADAM THEN MADE A FEW SUBSTITUTIONS WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE GREAT DECISIONS, AS CHRIS SMITH ONLY BEING ON THE PITCH FOR A MATTER OF 5 MINUTES THEN PULLED SAXON LEVEL AND REALLY GIVE THE OPPOSITION SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

SAXON DIDN'T STOP THERE AND WANTED TO GET THE GAME OVER AND NOT GO INTO EXTRA TIME. THEY PUSHED ON FOR THE WIN.

ON FORM MATT JUDGE WAS THEN PLAYED THROUGH BY OLDER SIBLING JOE TO PLACE A CHEEKY LITTLE FINISH INTO THE CORNER AND PUT SAXON 3-2 UP WITH JUST A MINUTE TO GO - MUCH TO THE DELIGHT OF ADAM GAGGINI WHO COULD BARELY HIDE HIS EMOTIONS!!

OVERALL A VERY TOUGH GAME WITH SAXON REALLY SHOWING THEIR TEAM SPIRIT AND KEEPING UP THEIR UNBEATEN RUN FOR THIS SEASON. ROLL ON RAILWAY NEXT WEEK!!!!!
