Somersall Rangers v Leabrooks Tigers

This was our first league game so it was a mixture of excitement and nerves ,mainly from me! The lads settled quite quickly and the early play was a battle for the midfield, Leabrooks broke away with pace upfront to take the lead after 5 mins, but Somersall kept their heads up and continued to compete well. Then shortly after Leabrooks went 2 up, after a bit of a scramble. Again the lads didn't get down  and shortly before half time Luke Hobson pounced on a lose ball to drill home a much deserved goal to keep us in the game. Second half saw Dion go in goal and Callum go upfront to partner Joe and again there was very little between the teams with Dion pulling off some outstanding saves and several chances just not going our way when Leabrooks got a third. Again Somersall never dropped heads even after we lost our midfield anchor man Euan to injury and up popped Joe to fire a thunder bolt that the Leabrooks keeper got hands to but couldn't keep out we were back in the game again, with Luke Waller marshalling the midfield and Tom covering every inch of the pitch the ball broke to Callum out on the right he ran on into the box and cracked  in a low near post shot that that squeezed in to level the game. A much deserved draw that all the lads must take great credit for you all did yourselves proud well done!!!!  A game played in a great spirit from both sides was the perfect start!
