WORTHING 2 PETER SYMMONS 5

SCORER--- JAMES COOKE X 2

M.O.M. THE WHOLE TEAM

LOSING IS NOT THE THE END OF THE WORLD, IT IS OFTEN THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU LOSE WHICH IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT, AND THE ATTITUDE DETERMINATION TO WIN WITH ONLY THE BARE 11 PLAYERS FROM THE WORTHING TEAM WAS FANTASTIC!
LET ME PUT YOU IN THE PICTURE, WE PLAYED SYMMONS IN OCTOBER AND GOT THRASHED 7-1 WITH A FULL SQUAD AND WERE NEVER IN THE GAME AT ALL, WE WERE JUST CHASING THE BALL AND WERE SECOND BEST ON THE DAY. TODAY WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WE MATCHED SYMMONS IN ALL QUARTERS AND EVEN WITH THEIR 5 SUBS THEY COULD ONLY MANAGE TO HOLD US TO 1-1 AT HALF TIME, WE HAD CREATED MORE SHORT-CORNERS AND SCORING OPPOTUNITIES THAN THEM, HITTING THE POST TWICE AND HAVING THREE SAVED OFF THE LINE. IT WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS AND CHASING A 3-2 DEFICIT WE CONCEDED TWO LATE GOALS, DISAPPOINTING, BUT IS IN THE MANNER THAT WE LOST THAT I WAS REALLY PLEASED WITH.

WELL DONE GUYS FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND GREAT DISCIPLINE!
