St. Silas v Houston
St. Silas won 4 v 1 today with an exceptional performance not only football wise but also attitude wise. It was fantastic to watch and really enjoyable.
The game started slowly with pressure from Houston but the deadlock was broken by some swift passing down the right and a perfect cross from Frank for Ali to make it 1 nil St. Silas. Houston then made it 1 all. A few changes in the second half saw St. Silas come out of the blocks the quicker of the 2 teams and with John scoring number 2 followed shortly by Frank and then to top it off Frank became supplier yet again for Ali to loop a header over the goakeeper to make the final score 4 v 1.
Derek our goalkeeper had a couple of saves to pull off and unfortunately for him did not manage to keep a clean sheet but his attitude and discipline were absolutely excellent today. Well done Derek.
John had a great game today and put us back on the winning path with the goal to put us 2 v 1 up. Frank had an excellent team performance and Ali scored 2 cracking goals and had a great game as well. Every member of our team showed exceptional maturity and discipline today and really played as a team.
Houston played their part in a fantastic game and I hope they do well next season. For us it is up to the second division as champions. We have 64 points and no one can catch us and so well done to everyone involved this season especially Iain who came back from a very serious knee injury and took us over that finishing line with 3 more league games to go and at least a cup semi final to play in next week.
Strathclyde Evangelical Churches League Division 3 CHAMPIONS 2006/7 St. Silas FC.
