Great Danes B were probably the best team we had faced in the first half of the season and the only team to have put more than one goal past us in our 3-2 win at their place.
Ongar were more than ready and with the welcome return of Nari with his first start this year, they started firing on all cylinders. Within the first minute Nari was through on goal and hit the post. Two minutes
later and a similar break saw him slot the ball home in fine style. In the fifth minute the Great Danes Keeper made a fine save following a one on one with Nari. In the sixth minute Lewis only had to slot the ball home but was denied by a magnificent
tackle by the Danes captain, but his time came when only a minute later, a great cross went straight to Lewis who tapped home. 2-0.
Midway through the half Great
Danes had their best chance following a free kick on the left side just outside the box, brilliantly struck by the No.6, but matched by a stunning save by Ben in the
Ongar goal. The next goal came from defence as
littlegunny knocked it
forward to James he played it through to Lewis who lobbed the keeper from the edge of the box 3-0. Jacob
didn't want to be left out and a minute before the break took a great pass from Lewis and drove home a low shot into the great
Danes goal. half time 4-0.
Second half and Nari was revved up and again within a minute was on the
score sheet driving home a shot from the edge of the box. Filly decided to rest James, Nari and Kurt after all playing really well for the first half and bought on Ben F, Reid and Henry. This unsettled the blues a little and whilst still trying to reorganise the whites knocked in a goal.
Ongar settled down and for most part were attacking the Great Danes goal going close a few times. Reid's dedication paid off when he was able to knock in a close range shot after a bit of a scramble in the area. Two minutes before the end and
littlegunny turned inside the No.4 striking a left footed shot that hit the keepers leg and went wide of the post.
Great Danes had a late surge and the No. 11 was on his own toward the Ongar goal with only the keeper to beat. Brave Ben, today's captain, threw himself at the ball and the feet of the Danes striker and prevented them scoring again.
Great All round performance by all on the pitch.
Captain: Ben H
Player of the Week:- Lewis for great awareness and great passing.
