Six from six for the Bosie Boys
Six games played. (Including Cup) Six wins. Thirty-three goals scored. And the Bosie Boys are showing absolutely no signs of slowing down!
On Remembrance Sunday, both teams, officials and supporters came together to honour the brave, observing a respectful two-minute silence in the foggy, still conditions. A fitting tribute before the football got underway.
FIRST HALF
The game kicked off and Bosie were straight out of the blocks, immediately putting the Ashby defence under pressure. Within five minutes, the ball was in the back of the net, only for the celebrations to be cut short by the offside flag.
Ashby responded well, finding their feet and putting together some decent passages of play. It was clear early on that this had all the makings of a tight affair.
However, the unbeaten Bosie Boys had other ideas. They upped the tempo, pushed forward and, for a second time inside the opening 30 minutes, found the net, only to be denied again by the offside flag!
Undeterred, the home side continued to probe. James P was particularly unlucky not to head into the break with a brace after coming close on more than one occasion.
Despite the pressure, Ashby held firm and the half-time whistle arrived with the score goalless at 0–0.
SECOND HALF
Bosie picked up exactly where they had left off, dominating the opening ten minutes and looking increasingly dangerous.
Then came a moment of madness! With what can only be described as a rush of blood to the head, Nat F found himself taking an enforced ten-minute rest in the sin bin.
Ashby immediately sensed an opportunity and, just two minutes later, exploited the space left at left-back to break through and take a 0–1 lead.
But if Ashby thought that was going to knock the stuffing out of Bosie, they clearly hadn’t been watching this team!
The goal was exactly the spark the home side needed.
Just two minutes later, Player of the Match Rees M burst into the penalty area, took on three defenders and was unceremoniously brought down. Penalty to Bosworth!
Up stepped skipper Rory H, who made absolutely no mistake, smashing the ball home to bring the game level at 1–1.
And Bosie weren’t finished there.
Ashby restarted and immediately tried to get forward, but Dec, Rory and Owen were having none of it, shutting down the threat in the middle of the park.
The ball was worked out wide to the left, where the ever-classy Tom N produced an absolutely beautiful cross. Rees M met it with a superb volley to fire Bosie into a 2–1 lead – and remember, we were still down to ten men!
A shell-shocked Ashby suddenly found themselves chasing shadows. Bosie were first to everything, winning the battles, moving the ball around and piling on the pressure.
With the sin-bin period finally over and Bosie back to full strength, the attacks just kept coming.
An inviting in-swinging corner arrived and met by Nat F who rise above everyone and power a header against the crossbar. Fortunately, Blake was perfectly placed to calmly finish the rebound and make it 3–1.
The Bosie Boys had well and truly got the bit between their teeth now!
Confident, composed and moving the ball around with real precision, the home side were firmly in control.
With around 15 minutes remaining, up stepped Rees M again, calmly side-footing the ball home to extend the advantage to 4–1 and grab his second of the afternoon.
And just when Ashby thought things couldn’t get any worse, skipper Rory H had the final say. With only a minute or two remaining, he drove the ball into the back of the net to round off a fantastic team performance and complete a convincing 5–1 victory.
A SPECIAL MENTION!
A special mention must go to Mikael, who clearly decided that the Ashby defenders needed a little lesson in footwork.
At one point, a particularly zesty step-over left an opposition defender on the deck, presumably wondering where his ankles had gone and how he was going to explain his bruised ego on the journey home!
Footballing skills or an unexpected trip to the dance floor? Either way, it was certainly worth the admission fee!
