19th February 2006 - Home 10.30am KO vs. Sole Bay Hunters

Lost 5-2

Mutford lined up with Harrison in Goal. James, Jack, Phil and Joe in defence. In midfield were Smiffy, Jason and Harley with Josh2, Mikey and Jordan up front. Josh took up a position on the bench.

The game was evenly balanced when Sole Bay took the lead. A through ball that Harrison was unable to clear leaving the Sole Bay striker with a tap-in. The second goal was another soft goal from Mutford's point of view, again Mutford failing to clear the ball leading to a lob that Harrison got his fingers to but could not keep out.

Half Time 0-2.

Despite being 2 down Mutford had matched Sole Bay and were looking forward to a good second half.

Sole Bay put the game out of Mutford's reach with 2 goals in quick succession, the first was a classy chip over Harrison and the second through shear determination by the Sole Bay Striker shrugging off a Mutford defender before laying the ball into a team-mates path.

Mutford gave themselves a glimmer of hope with a Jordan strike, his 9th goal in his last 5 games.

Sole Bay made it 5-1 before Harley rounded off his impressive performance with his first goal for the club finishing a cross after a good attack down the left.

The game finished 5-2 and leaves Mutford needing to win their last 2 matches to give them a good chance of finishing 4th.

There were good performances from Jack and Harrison but Harley was named Man-of-the-Match for a good display as well as scoring his first goal since his move from Waveney.

 Man-of-the-Match - Harley.
