Waltham Wolves 8-5 Chandlers Ford

WALTHAM WOLVES 8-5 CHANDLERS FORD
19.6.04 – FRIENDLY

In Chandlers Ford’s first ever eleven a side match, it truly was a game of two halves. CFY really struggled with the offside at both of ends of the pitch and some of the players were not holding to their positions. Waltham Wolves used this to their advantage and raced to a 6-1 lead scoreline at the interval. A goal from Ronan Galloway had been the only reply to the Wolves onslaught.

HALF TIME – Waltham Wolves 6-1 CFY

However some reshuffling of the eleven available players at half time saw CFY command possession, as they appeared to be playing more confidently. Chandlers Ford became the stronger side; in a complete reverse to the first half. A further goal from Ronan Galloway and a superb hat trick from man of the match Sabri Elmasri helped their side win the second half 4-2.

Unfortunately, however their first half performance let them down as they lost 8-5 overall. But they are still learning and finding their feet in eleven a side football. And they showed just how good they can be when they are switched on by their brave second half show.
