1sts had a tough game at home to LXG, were missing quite a few players. We had a great chance at the start through Ciarán, even 1st half ended 0-0. 2nd half we got the breakthrough through Tiago after great work from Ciarán down the right. We had 3 or 4 clearcut chances that we couldn’t take & were punished on the break with an unlucky OG. We didn’t panic & when Ciarán was fouled on the edge up stepped Rachid to curl around the wall into the corner of the net, 5 to go. They pushed a bit & with time up they got a penalty when Bono was penalised. It was a really good penalty but Ricard flung himself to his right & saved brilliantly. There was 5 minutes added time which confused but we held on for a moral boosting win to hopefully keep the pressure on Brussels British at the top. Motm Ricard, special mention to Alvaro rolling back the years at 6.
