Codicote 7 St Margaretsbury FC 4

Our first league game of the season away to Codicote got off to a very lively start.  Codicote scored early but Ollie soon equalised for us.  Further goals followed and within 15 mins Codicote were 3-1 ahead.  Our boys responded well and Antonio Delle Grazie scored coming in at the far post after good work down our left side.  Then a free kick swung in by Mike went straight though a crowded penalty area to make the score 3-3.  The St.Margaretsbury defence soaked up some strong pressure and after a quick break a fourth goal was added by substitute Jordan Kenton.  Although St. Margaretsbury had plenty of possession during the second half, we couldn’t get our passing game going.  Denis, taking charge of the team in Mike’s absence made good use of our subs, but with only two outfield subs available we seemed to tire more as the game went on.  An injury to Matt called Joe into action and he made a couple of good stops.  Codicote scored 4 more times ending a very entertaining match to claim a 7-4 victory.
