Nunnery Scorpions 2 v 0 Warndon Rhinos 

The Rhinos played Nunnery Scorpions at St Mary’s Playing Fields for the first time this season. The Rhinos started the game with only 6 players, but this didn’t distract them and the whole team were determined to prevent a Scorpions goal. Finley and George were heroic in defence and kept the Scorpions at bay for the first 10 minutes of the match. Harvey, Jonathan and Daniel were chasing everything on the pitch and never gave up. But with only 6 Rhinos on the pitch, the Scorpions managed to score the opening goal of the game. Minutes later Harry arrived and there were 7 Rhinos on the playing field. The Scorpions were ever dangerous throughout and a nice one-two move resulted in the second goal.

 

In the second half the Rhinos determination was clear to see, great tackling, important blocks and improved defending meant the Rhinos kept a clean sheet in the second half. An outstanding defensive performance from the whole team kept the Scorpions out. Finley Stanley was sensational throughout the game, his desire to win the ball was incredible with countless headers and tackles. All the Rhinos played superbly, Sean made some good saves, Harry never gave up and Daniel, Jonathan, George and Harvey were brave and committed.

 

Man of the Match: Finley Stanley

Superb performance, superb defending, great awareness and excellent positional play.
