B2B wins in Saturday League for the 1s
Lancaster scored a crucial 3 points in a sketchy win against Leyland and Chorley on Saturday. The boys quickly started to dominate the game and began to pepper the opposition keeper with a barrage of shots. Eventually the keeper became overwhelmed and a cheeky drag flick by Mincey snuck in to give Lancaster the lead. This was followed up by Max making an uncharacteristically poor connection with the ball, but the miss hit sold the keeper and resulted in another goal for Lancaster.
LUMHC's high press was working well throughout the first half with Gaston and Chaz mopping up anything that pierced the line, meaning that the visitors rarely threatened Dylan the Creeper in net. During the second half tensions began to rise as the opposition become frustrated with Lancaster's impenetrable defence. Unfortunately this did mean that VK Demon Dylscoop received a green card for his 3D ball skills in knocking the ball away after the whistle had gone. Chazzy managed to get his name on the scoresheet with a perfectly executed goal just before the half-time whistle, meaning that Lancaster went into half-time sitting pretty with a 3 goal lead.
Midway through the second half Lancaster had a momentary lapse in concentration which Leyland capitalised on bringing the score to 3-1. In the final 5 of the match Leyland launched another assault on the goal, and amid the chaos Gaston attempted to deflect the ball away. However, his attempt resulted in the ball becoming airborne, flying over the Creeper's foot to the eagerly awaiting attacker who smashed the ball into the goal. A tense final few minutes followed, but the 1s managed to hold out to secure their second win on a Saturday in 2 weeks.
MOTM: Chazzy for a solid shift (excluding 10 minutes when he passed to anyone but a Lancaster player), closely followed by a sober Chris Sesh-Penney
DOTD: Dylan the Creeper for letting 2 poor goals go by him
