Sorry for the delay, had our Xmas team night out after the game.
Mayfield 2 Douglas Hall 1
The first half was scrappy with both sides looking to catch the other on the break .
We took the lead on 20 through Jamie Murphy's deflected effort an instead of kicking on we wobbled an in fairness the Hall equalised an gave us a few scares till the ref blew for half time .
Made one positional change at half time an took the lead within minutes of the restart when Jamie robbed the ball from the center half an finished well for his 2nd.
The pitch was well iced up by half time an it made it difficult to control the ball on the run but made it perfect for passing the ball . I think last night in the 2nd half we showed how well we can pass the ball .
It was an open enough 2 nd half with the best chances falling to Mayfield . Once we went with 3 in the middle man for man we were stronger and we upped the intensity an pressurised the Hall up top at every opertuinity . We should of made the scoreline more comfortable in all honesty but If it wasn't for some truly outstanding goalkeeping from the wise old owlin the Hall goal the scoreline would of been wider.
As with any game we were under pressure at times but defensively we were top class in the 2 nd half an our new keeper was superb on the night .
3 points an a bit of pride was what was gained last night . Last season the Hall took us to the cleaners twice in the league an the season before we twice were 1 up only to conceed late in the game to end with draws so it was important for ourselves to get a result last night we needed to prove we could . We were superb all over the pitch in the 2nd half last night.
