After a good cup win, it was back to the league for Landsdowne. Today’s opponents; Hollandiers. A team that have won every game so far and should easily walk way Div 4 champs. It was going to be a tough game for Landsdowne but also a good test.

From the off Hollandiers played at a quick pace; their pitch allowing them to spray the ball about at will. Landsdowne just needed to chase shadows and try and stay tight. They did well for most of the first halve, not allowing Hollandiers any easy changes, when they did strike Medcraft was equal to everything. Unfortunately a mix up at the back led to the opening goal, 1-0 to Hollandiers.

Landsdowne needed to keep there heads up and see it through to half time. They did just that and a bit more as they looked threatening on the break. Rix, Dan T and Sherry all causing problems going forward, unfortunately they couldn’t find a goal. 1-0 at half time.

The second halve began with Hollandiers pushing forward similarly to the first halve. They soon doubled there lead, 2-0. Credit to Landsdowne they kept battling away and were creating changes but couldn’t get the goal. Hollandiers got another with about 15 minutes to go and secure the three points but it was in no way easy for them. On another day with some better finishing Landsdowne could have been very much in the game till the end but in the end the best team won.

Final score; 3-0. Unlucky boys, a good performance against a very good footballing side. Against another team the result would have definitely been different. Let’s keep going!!
