The Leopards again hosted Omega in our scheduled home fixture, following the reversed fixture earlier in the season.

The hosts were still without Zach Williams, but also missing Ollie, Will & Callum meaning only 13 available.

After Joseph (wearing the arm band which Edward appears to have been nibbling) skillfully followed instructions to kick into the blustery wind first half, the Leopards looked dangerous in their 3-4-3 formation.

The new formation allowed Max to play off the front men and spray balls to the right side to the speedy Vincent & Micheal. Both of whom were denied early on by excellent last ditch defending. While Connor was doing an excellent job on the left,

But it was the visitors who opened the scoring, against the run of play, as a corner from the left found it's way across goal and the Omega forward slotted home unmarked.

But the Leopards kept battling and were rewarded just before the break as Benni (and his GO-GO-GADGET legs) blocked a clearance that found him clear through on goal, with the goal at his mercy he squared it to Luke who turned it into the empty net for a "proper sweaty FIFA goal" (whatever that is!)

The visitors looked threatening on the break but in defence, Joseph, Josh, Teddy & Brick were defending superbly. While Ryan (in his old boots which left his feet "dead"!?) was sweeping up well behind them.

After a very positive half team talk, the boys came out with a greater hunger and Zach & Ted were winning every first and second ball in the midfield.

And it was the Bossman (Zach) who put the hosts ahead, as a long ball forward was chested off by Max to the on rushing Zach who burst clear and delightfully slotted the ball past the keeper. SNM.

The Leopards continued to create chances but could not find the goal to put the game to bed.

That was until the last 6 minutes, when following another monster Ryan drop kick, Max chased down a back pass, he blocked the pass with his goolies before tucking home into the empty net.

The Leopards then wrapped the game up as Ted slid a delightful through ball in the box to Max, the Omega defender got a foot in and ball fell to TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDE, who stabbed home the loose ball to wrap up the game.

Coaches Thoughts:
We have been saying for weeks that if we continue to believe in ourselves and what we are trying to achieve, then the results will come. And they don't come much bigger than this one, beating the previously undefeated league leaders. Also putting 4 past them, which is more than the have conceded for the WHOLE LAST 2 SEASONS! Just shows you how well we played today!
Ryan was excellent as usual, the defence were solid, the midfield won their battles, the wingers were a threat and the forwards all got a goal! Plus the lino was superb and the coaches were mediocre. All in all a good day at the office!
