Men's 2nd XI Vs Bridgnorth 2

The cold snap seemed to affect every pitch and team in the midlands bar the 2nd teams final game before Christmas away at a struggling Bridgnorth. With the boys still missing a few regulars in Tom Williams, Jordan Keeble, Lewis Moore and Will Lorenz through injury we welcomed back Sunny Sahota and Ollie Brannen. Telford started strong with most of the play taking place in the Bridgnorth half and the deadlock was broken by well worked goal finished off by Ollie Brannen. Bridgnorth pulled one back through a penalty stroke after some questionable decisions had been made and Telford not playing to their strengths. The quick message from Captain Jon Cook was to adjust, improve and play to our game and tempo and we knew the 3 points would come! 20 seconds after the pushback some great work down the right hand side by Tom Jones resulting in a Ball across the ‘mini D ‘ with Owen on hand to finish with the lead quickly restored. 2-1 Half time and the team on the up. The half time message was clear from Captain and Coach - we were the better team but had to improve in certain areas for us to ensure the 3 points were ours! Much throughout the game Telford played with 10 men with the boys receiving 4 yellow cards for what can only be describing as questionable decisions with Tom Bullock alleged to have become a Kung Fu expert quickly in the second half. Going into the game we full well knew what to expect and we had to keep hitting the back of the net with goals coming from Ollie Brannen again , Matt Hadley Moore with a trademark dribble and reverse finish before Tom Jones rounded off the game leaving Telford 5-1 Winners! This result leaves the team 10 played / 10 wins / 100% record! This team has come along way in recent years and can now enjoy the Christmas break before we go again in the new year. Special thanks to the Coaching , Spectators and Umpires who have supported us so far this year.

Merry Christmas all!
