Cornac United 2

Vets 2 arrived mostly on time and were very unusually already kitted out and starting the warm-up a good half hour before kick off.. maybe that’s what threw us off! We started with a 4-4-2 formation looking to emulate last week’s heroics, but were soon brought back to ground by Cornac’s slick passing and fast transitions. Soon after the early warnings, they scored from a soft(ish) penalty. We started making a few inroads down the right with Rafa slotting Bobby through on a few occasions and one resulted in a good shot that went just wide. Despite our efforts, their big man up front got two more from from corners and we went in 3-0 down at half time.
Martin came off for Stefan, making a welcome comeback, and Pietro also came on for Paddy who was running on fumes after a heavy night.. We improved in the second half and started pressing higher to create opportunities, but unfortunately still couldn’t find the net and Cornac got two more on the counter. Tough day at the office but we were outplayed fair and square. All is well though since Laurent won MOTM and bought a round of the strongest beers in the buvette and we went home happy 🙂
