A report on the match from Falcons captain, Kalil Rouse.
We came into this game sitting in 3rd place in the league on 2 points behind UEA and ARU (both on 6 points from two games). For our purposes, this was a match that we had to win. We were able to field our strongest line-up of the season so far and all the lads were raring to go. The first half display was superb. In attack we moved the ball well, found the strikers’ feet, spread the play and really made UEA work to try and get the ball back. In defence against a talented UEA team, we were very well organised and benefited from a lot of communication. We deservedly went into the lead after the windy conditions guided a corner-kick to the back post and a clever pass back across the goal allowed Mike Smith to tap in from a yard out. We went into half-time 1-0 up and with very little to improve upon. The second half required a different type of performance. UEA pushed three up-front as they went in search of a goal. But, yet again, the team stayed remarkably solid and organised in defence and looked dangerous on every counter-attack. Eventually, after managing to stay on the front foot for a while, Zac Baynham-Herd was sent through to a one-on-one with their goalkeeper. He cleverly jinked round him and finished into an open net. It was time to ‘park the bus’ and we did so with aplomb. Keeping our first clean sheet of the competitive season capped off a wonderful all-round performance. It’s onwards and upwards from here.
