Phoenix Pay the Penalty
Outback 2 Phoenix 1
Gower Phoenix (4-4-2) Sam -Dens, Bradley, Mitch, Tomo - Benji, Wall, Phil, Jules - Toby, Ash
A generally poor game on football on a uneven pitch in the bright sunshine at Regents park ended with a narrow win for Outback.
Phoenix welcomed 4 new players to the team - all of who had good games. However the team was shorn of 4 centre backs and Mitch and Bradley had to stand in. This almost allowed Outback two instant chances as Phoenix dawdled on the ball - thankfully new keeper Sam kept them out.
Phoenix then settled down and started to look dangerous. A moment of class from Ash saw him taken down in the area - clear penalty that Toby hit right at the keeper. Then Ash was played in by Jules and should have finished by the keeper saved again.
Phoenix struggled to win headers in our final third and just before half time a snap shop from a head down allowed Outback to go in with an underserved 1-0 lead.
Second 1/2 and decent play from the dynamic Phil in the middle led to Ash being carved down in the area again after a mazy run. Jules stepped up and hit it wide. Finally after Toby was brought down Phil smashed it in to make it 1-1. Then Jules had a great chance to make it 2 -1 but just delayed his shot too long.
Outback should have scored from a corner and eventually did after a misunderstanding allowed them to go right through the middle and score the winner.
Not a classic by any means but with a KEY CUP SEMI FINAL on the 21st of March - competition for places will be tight - Crown and Goose next weekend - lets be up for it.
MOTM - Phil - dynamic centre midfielder, just pipped Bradley to MOTM
