League
The first league game of the season seen potential title rivals Ford Sports Reserve travel to Stanley Road, freshly cut……. but still long enough to make crop circles!
With confidence high among the squad the Gaffa fielded an unchanged team from the previous week However a changed was needed between the sticks due to a Devon bound Booth – Step up Andy Robinson.
The game started off in the normal Jailhouse style, fast and furious, closing down balls and creating chances, the strike force of Luke and Smith started where they left off the previous week with Smith netting a left foot shot for the opener. Five minutes later Smith added another to his tally after a delightful ball from Bond on the left side and a flick on from Gregs. He then completed his hat-trick after a neatly played ball from Liam on the right. Ford Sports replied before half time with a thunderous strike from almost the half way line. The Jailhouse went in 3 – 1 to the good.
The second half started with an edgy Jailhouse conceding two goals for the visitor to level at 3 all! The lads needed to dig deep to pull back a goal and the Gaffa made some tactical substitutions bringing on Ruddy for Luke. Again after coming of the bench he made an impact forcing a foul from one of the Ford players to concede a penalty. The Polish International Adam Taylor stepped up to scuff the ball home and put the Jailhouse back in the lead. Ruddy again causing trouble up top scored the winning goal for a 5 – 3 win.
A good come back from the lads and a score line which flattened Ford Sports. Note worthy performance from Treadwell in the defence who was a man mountain.
