Conference - Match 14

Khazboss FC 4 - 8 Real Mabridge
Scorers:
Evans 2
John 1
Gregory 1


Khazboss continued their poor form in a defeat which featured the first in match delay due to floodlight failure. Khazboss started brightly with Chris and Gregory showing good on the ball skills and a few shots, but on the counter attack Mabridge were deadly and being allowed time to finish clinically and put themselves 2 goals clear. For long periods of the time Khazboss looked the better side with crisp passing and solid defending. But in attack they weren't very penetrative, with little movement and at the back Heron and Charnock were sorely missed
with lapses in concentration allowing space to shot. Without an expert keeper they paid the price. The floodlight failure happenerd with 14 mins left with Khazboss 2-6 down. It looked like Khazboss could escape with an abandonment draw. Though with Khazboss looking the better side for long periods they could maybe get back into it. But after the delay it wasn't to be with the game becoming a bit aggressive from both sides not helped by a leanient referee.

Verdict: Khazboss maybe the better team but they did not produce the team result to prove that.
