Vipers 2 - Lower Beeding 1

Vipers won there Div A opener 2-1 against Lower Beeding, but could have won 3-0 or lost 2-3 in a game that was tighter than it needed to be. Some good play led to 2 first half goals from the Vipers, one from Matt Soloman (always nice to see a defender score from a corner!) and Adam Lamport, from a great through ball by Sam Tuhey. The second half brief was to keep a clean sheet. Lower Beeding were awarded a penalty which was brilliantly saved by Reece Collins-Powell, but then managed to put one past us, having been given way too much space, to make it 2-1 . Lloyd Rowlat hit the bar from distance which would have put Vipers safe. With 5 to go Beeding broke through, but were offside, so the goal did not count. So though we ended up winners, much improvement is needed. Facing up to tackles, being first to the ball, controlling mid field and keeping the game simple with good on floor passing, and cutting out the fancy twirls! There were notable performances today from Matt Soloman and Timmy Moore at centre backs, Callum Osborne continued to put his head where others fear to tread, and Sam Tuhey had an excellent second half. Man of the match was between Reece and Louis Tanner - Louis edged it with his whistle to whistle pursuit of the ball - but well done to both.
