Match Report: Loko vs Cool Oak Rangers

Sportsman's League,
Senior Amateur Division

Sun 3 May 2015
Loko 0 vs Cool Oak Rangers 5


LOKO GET CRUSHED





With only a bare 11 making it to Riverside Lands today, including Matt who was carrying an injury, it was going to be a challenge finishing the season in style.

Plus, after just a few minutes, it was obvious that Cool Oak Rangers were going to keepm us busy with their tall and fast players.

Rangers opened the score on 5 minutes when a cross from our right lodged itself in the roof of Ismail's net taking everybody by surprise. This was followed by a second goal 13 minuets later when their number 12 fired a low shot into our net.

Not much to boast about our end with the exception of a great save by Ismail whilst Beni and Chris were working very hard in the middle of the pitch.

With 10 minutes to half time, their number 9 handled the ball in the middle of the park but the ref failed to see the foul and with the Loko players statuesque they made it 3-0 before the break.

Despite a few attempts our end it was obvious again that, without having natural goalscorers in our team scoring was going to be a Herculean task and we hardly ever threatened their goal.

On 70 minutes, they added a 4th from a corner as their big sub scored with the help of his...back.

Then, on 79 minutes, Mark twisted his knee badly and had to come off and Cool Oak Rangers made the most of their numerical advantage as they scored a 5th goal.

All in all, a fitting end to an unsuccessful season...

M.O.M: Beni who never gave up.

Line-up: Ismail - Chris, Ivan, Mark, Marcel -Miguel, Dave, Matt, Beni - Hakim, Tom
