This game was a real test for both sets of players, a real battle and with a half time score of 0-0 and either side capable of taking the lead and both missing chances, the players knew they were all in a game,the players had a well earned rest at half time on a lovely warm morning and went out again in the second half with more effort, the deciding goal coming from Joesph Hastings with a great finish after a spell of pressure on the Didcot goal, Great saves all morning from all the brave Didcot Goalies had kept the scoreline down.

Afterwards we played a friendly game to ensure everyone had played at least a full game of football this morning, The game ended 2-2 with Robbie Morton and Tremayne Barrett pulling back a 2-0 down at half time scoreline.

After a slow start last week the Players this week showed what great determination and belief they have as a team to correct last week from our usually high standards of effort and football.

Well done lads and keep the effort up and most of all keep enjoying your football.
