Brentwood Sports A 2.3.2008

Today's encounter was against Brentwood Sports A. This team had beaten Ongar 6-2 on the first game of the season and the Blues were determined not to have a repeat of that.

The game started fairly evenly with the Brentwood team attacking and being met with a strong Ongar defence. Eventually they broke through and went 0-1 up. The Ongar team kept their cool and continued with a couple of breaks from Lewis eventually leading to a great solo goal.
At 1-1 the Dark Blues kept on the pressure and following a couple of mix ups at the back lead to a scrappy goal being conceded by Ongar 1-2. Ben H yet again prevented the Juniors going further behind pulling off some great saves from some impressive shots.

Second half started and was a bit slow, changes to the Ongar Team, replacing Lewis and Kurtis with Nari and Jacob, seemed to lift the Ongar team which lead to them having a succession of attacks from Nari and Jacob, but never really bothering the Brentwood Keeper. Brentwood went 1-3 up and very nearly got four but were prevented by the sheer skill of The "Cat" in the Ongar goal, and for this he deserves the Man of the Match title yet again. Well done Ben. Overall the Ongar team didn't have a bad game but the Brentwood Sports team put away their chances. An improvement by the Ongar Juniors.
