Plashet Vs Chelmsford 4

- 0
This is was a top versus bottom of the league
clash and a somewhat awkward game to sum up, albeit the score line
reflects a trouncing of the opposition, it would be unfair to say
that Plashet were in any way tested by this Chelmsford side.
For Plashet, this game gave them the chance
to tighten up on some of the areas that needed to be improved on
in a game situation. From the start of this game it was obvious to
see that there was a significant difference between the quality of
the teams. None the less, Plashet came out of the traps very
quickly and the pattern of the game was stamped in the first 2
minutes of the game. Plashet took full advantage of the mediocre
quality of the opposition as they moved the ball around swiftly
and exploited the huge gaps in the Chelmsford midfield and defence.
It only took 5 minutes before Plashet were ahead, the midfield
trio amongst themselves managed to carve the ball through to
Ajaypal Singh who neatly dinked the ball over the advancing
goalkeeper. As the game went on, Plashet managed to increase their
lead significantly, going into half time at 7 nil up, with goals
from Inderjeet Singh, Sukhvinder Singh and Sanjeev Sharma.
The second half bought about an extraordinary substitution as their
number one goalkeeper came out of goal to play as an outfield
player in the centre forward position. Plashet continued the half
holding possession and moving the ball around patiently, waiting
for opportunities to strike. As if it was written, Amardeep Singh
(Plashet’s goalkeeper turned centre forward) opened his goal
scoring account as he found himself completely empty in the
oppositions penalty area to strike the ball into bottom left hand
corner. This game also gave the chance for many of Plashet’s
youngsters to get an outing. Sant Singh was involved in the game
in abundance, he created many chances for himself and his team
mates on several occasions. He also managed to get himself onto
the score sheet, after Chelmsford failed to clear a Plashet short
corner, the defender was only able to clear the ball into the path
of where Sant Singh was waiting, in turn he executed his strike
with great venom which went low into the bottom corner of the
goal. Endless pressure continued on the Chelmsford goal, and they
were unable to trouble the makeshift Plashet goalkeeper at all.
Nearing the end of the game, Plashet had managed to score another
5 goals, the final score at 14 nil, with further goals from
Sandeep Singh, Himmat Singh and Parvin Singh.
