The Leopards travelled to a wet & windy Woodcoombe for their first away trip of the season.

They were still without Ryan, so birthday boy Ollie May was between the sticks. And were also without Benni & Max, so Zach Mitchell started up front.

After a scrappy opening, the visitors managed to get a foot on the ball as Ollie, Zach Williams & Vincent started to move the ball well.

Following a splendid run through midfield, Vincent beat the last defender, before being blocked as he burst past him, the ball ran to Zach M who’s powerful effort was well saved by the keeper.

The visitors again went close from Will’s corner, Luke managed to back heel the ball into the danger area and Vincent stabbed wide of the far post.

And then Joseph was denied again by the keeper as his snap shot from the edge of the box was creeping inside the far post before the keeper tipped it wide.

Ollie May was not required to make a save in the first half as the Leopards were on top, but he did manage to flatten the Woodcoombe forward as he tried to latch onto a long ball forward.

Into the Second Half and the Leopards struggled to get their passing game going, while the hosts seemed to find more space but found Josh, Teddy and Brick in the usual stubborn mode.

Callum and Connor were both working hard on the wings keeping the ball moving.

Vincent again went close to breaking the deadlock as Will got round the full back, his low cross was blocked as far as Vincent and his powerful effort flew narrowly wide.

Then against the run of play, Woodcoombe took the lead. A ball in behind turned the Leopards defence round but today got in front of the forward to shield the ball for Ollie to collect, but the Woodcoombe forward somehow managed to get a toe to the ball and poke it into the net.

The Leopards then stepped up a gear and Ollie & Zach W controlled the midfield area.

Wills was next to go close following a powerful run into the box by Zach M, the ball fell to Will who shot over the bar.

The hosts then wrapped up the points as their midfielder picked up a loose ball outside the box and hit a superb dipping volley over Ollie, and into the net, giving him absolutely no chance.

Parents Player: Zach Mitchell;
Coaches Player: Ollie Morris.

Coaches Thoughts
A really good performance from the boys, playing some excellent football and creating plenty of chances, just needed to put the ball in the net. And that is the most important stat at the end of the day.
BUT plenty of positives from today.
