Match Reports 

Maidwell 0 - 3 Witham Hall

The first ten minutes was quite positive with the Maidwell boys dominating possession.  It was not the beautiful game but there was a sense of determination and there were a few nice touches.  Unfortunately, once Witham had taken the lead, the boys' heads dropped and they became somewhat static, looking rather in awe of their opponents.  The second half was all Witham and if it had not been for a sterling effort in goal by Alex Saunders, the scoreline could have been worse.
 
 

Maidwell 2 - 3 Stoneygate

Having worked on energy and aggression since the weekend, this was a far better performance.  The first half saw Stoneygate string together some good passing moves and they were rewarded with two goals, including a penalty.  The second half was a different story; finally the Maidwell team seemed to grasp the benefits of energy and determination.  Tom Johnson opened the scoring and from there on the boys' spirits rose and they continued to surge forward with Matthew Anscomb getting the second.  A draw would have been a pleasing result and a fair reflection of the match; sadly, in the last minute of the game a back pass led to a free kick and eventually a goal.  A disappointing finish but, having won the second half, the team are heading in the right direction.

 

Maidwell 10 – 0 Bedford

This was a rather one-sided affair but it was played in good spirits and enjoyed by both teams.  For the Maidwell boys, coming off the back of two defeats, it was a welcome tonic that, I hope, will have allowed the boys’ confidence to grow.  They are a good team and this gave them the opportunity to show that.  Hopefully it will lead to a positive attitude in forthcoming fixtures.
