What is it about playing the scads? It seems that we are so equal in every way. Today was no different. The pitch was like a snooker table, sun shining and supporters on both sides as friendly as ever. This game was no different to the last one - a great passing game, end to end from start to finish and some very hard challenges. The referee disciplined some of our players for some bad tackles and rightly so, I hold my hands up to that and we'll sort that at training.
Well back to the game and this game looked like a 0-0 until we broke down the right and lovely link up play enabled Colm to latch on to our 1st with a well struck shot into the bottom corner. Dan Deveraux was well placed to bury number two and put the home side under pressure. Is this our day? Not a chance! The scads don't back off.. EVER! They came back at us and the pressure was relentless. They hit back with 2 fine goals, hit the bar twice and missed two with minutes to go.
Overall 2-2 seemed fair and a big, big thank you to the Scads for their hospitality.
