The Bright Side of Soccer

Rotherfield Raiders Gold 2 - 0 Woodley Saints Jaguars

A great performance by the Raiders in a tight match. Even after sustained pressure the match remained in deadlock until Ben Peirson-Hagger thumped in a stunning shot to give the raiders the lead. A few minutes later McGowan produced the "tackle of the season" with a perfectly timed interception to deprive Woodley's number 2 of a shooting opportunity that would almost certainly have been put away to level the score. Spurred on by such great defensive work after Raiders enjoyed a period of sustained pressure and numerous shots on goal by every other player until Chapman neatly tucked in the Raider's 2nd sealing a solid win and a great team performance.

Man of the Match : Matty Chapman
Raiders : Charlie, Sam S, Danny, Matthew C, Matthew A, Ben , Sam B, Josh, Archie

What is a Blog ?

A blog is a simplified website that allows users to post materials, pictures notes or just about anything and comment upon them. Blogs are great for sommunities such as parents and managers of footbal teams. While email is a great way to communicate blogs allow a central point for people to find information such as fixtures, teams and share things like pictures, links and iother useful information.

They are useless unless people PARTICIPATE , so have a go ! Make a comment or post a picture.
