THE FIRST
HALF
The first half didn't go very well at all, and with no more than 3 minutes
passing we found ourselves 2-0 down. Goalkeeping errors cost us dearly
and after about half an hour Lord Napier took full control to make it
three. Although the scoreline was unflattering, the Wirral Chinese had
their chances. Mike Yee dragged a long shot wide while Andy had a couple
of shots blocked. Finally, after about 40 minutes, the Wirral Chinese
got their act together and a cross from Roger setup Mike Yee for a simple
tap-in. After that, we began to play much better and later a Mike Yee
shot was saved only for Andy to scuff the re-bound. But against the run
of play, Lord Napier managed to score a late goal to settle their nerves
going into half time.
THE SECOND
HALF
After the late surge of chances in the first half, the Wirral Chinese
had the belief to come back - and they did. A through ball found Andy
who out-paced the Lord Napier defenders to shot and cause a save from
the goalie. Then the deflection was met by Mike Yee who made no mistake
in finishing the chance to make it 4-2. But we hit the self-descruct button
again and another goalkeeping error conceded another goal straight after.
But the Wirral Chinese responded in the right way and Andy played a through
ball into Mike Yee's path. He ran clear of the on-coming defenders and
slotted in his hattrick goal! But amazingly we conceded again! Several
mistakes at the back allowed a Lord Napier attacker to stoll through and
earn a goal to make the score 6-3. From then on we managed to stop Lord
Napier scoring again and Mike Yee scored again! A run from the right from
Lee was control by M.Yee and he cut inside and smashed the ball with his
left foot. Although the score was now 6-4 we still believed we could get
a result. A corner late on found Mike Yee in the box who only managed
to shoot just passed the post. But a late goal by Lee Tsoi only proved
to be a consolation.
OVERALL
There were many good performances from the entire team, but the Man of
the Match medal was awarded to Mike Yee for his four goals. Although the
team was weakened we still managed to get a respectable result.
