KPMG FC 2 – 0 Bosman Celtic Was
the fact that KPMG played their best football in a long time or was it that
Barthez’s dad made a return to the sidelines this week? If I were a gambling
man I would put it down to the fact that the team was more organised and
hungry for the victory. The link up play between Vince Inzaghi and Tony Zidane was breath
taking to watch. The KPMG players were not playing hurried football but they
attacked the Bosman goal with patience. The early chances fell to KPMG with
Tony Lyons firing a shot from the edge of the area only to see it sail over
the Bosman crossbar. With A new player down the right side this week, John, he added with
and grace to the KPMG attack. His trickery and pace down the wing left him
space to create crosses that were of the quality once seen by the Original
CAYman. Another chance came for KPMG as the ball was threaded through to
Thomas Hegarty but the Bosman keeper was in sparkling form and parried the
ball out for a corner. A few more long-range efforts were all that KPMG could
muster up in the first half and went in at half time on even terms with their
opponents. KPMG, on performance and hunger deserved to be leading at the
break, but that’s football. The second half started much like the first with KPMG having plenty of
the ball and it was Vince who saw his shot blaze just wide of the Bosman
goal. The breakthrough came just minutes after. A patient built up saw Hega
play a sublime pass to the feet of Lyons. Lyons drove forward and saw that
Thomas had shaken off his marker. Lyons crossed the ball in to the danger
area where Thomas, with precision, fired the ball past the outstretched
Bosman keeper. It was a deserved goal, and raised the confidence of KPMG to
even greater heights. Bosman didn’t have many chances in the first half except from corners.
Dazza, Tango, Decky and Skinny dealt these with in a workman like fashion.
The back four made sure that there wasn’t going to be an equalizer. The built up for the second goal was one you would expect to see on
the turf of Old Trafford. Hega played the ball from from midfield into the
path of Vince. With Lyons to his right he passed with finesse to his playing
partner. After long term absence from the squad Ronan Murphy made a welcome
return to the team. Lyons played Ronan in down the right. About to be
tackled, Ronan lifted the ball over Bosman defender and into the danger area.
Brendan Hegarty latched on to the ball first time, to rifle a shot passed the
Bosman keeper and in to the back of the net. Bosman didn’t give up and caused Barthez to make a few easy saves from
free kicks. With minutes to go Bosman were given a free kick just outside the
KPMG area. This was due to Hega’s constant fondling of the opposition. With
the wall in place and Dazza on the line the ball was blasted over the wall.
Gregson stretched and tipped the ball wide for a corner. Such was the
confidence of the KPMG squad the defender gave out to the legend that is
Barthez as he was the one who wanted the prise from his team-mates for keeper
the lead to two. All in all a very enjoyable game for the four spectators and a joy to
play in. Lets just hope that KPMG can play with this kind of patience and
control in future games. |
