MATCH REPORT
21 April 2007
Essex Olympian Football League
Reserve Division One
Epping 0 v Rayleigh Town 1
A disappointing end to our home campaign. A performance of total lethargy a season of high promise looks like turning into one of disappointment. With the odd exception the players never turned up for the game. A lack of desire and effort epitomised a lack lustre show. It all started so well. Adam Connolly scoring after 15 minutes . Adam playing his second of three games set about the game in the right manner and is clearly a talented individual who just seems to enjoy playing football.
Alongside him James Kelly worked as hard as usual and in the centre of defence Grey and Webster were outstanding. Webster in particular show what a player he is..At left back Nick Dainton once again proved the possession of ability means you can play anywhere. Epping held the lead at half time but despite being warned to up their game or risk losing the second half was probably the most disappointing forty five minutes of football this season . Two defensive errors combined with a lack of tracking back resulted in the home side conceding two goals and the points. In fairness the better more determined side on the day won.
Team: Christou, Harper, Dainton, Webster, Mavin, Grey, Shepherd, Geraghty, Beaumont, Kelly, Connolly.
