Final Result of the Season – 12th April 2015

HSBC 1 v 2 Old Ruts Vets

Where do we start? We all saw Charlie Adams goal last week……well the game was poised at nil all when the ball fell to Lines (R) a yard inside the oppo’s half and BANG on the half volley flying over the stranded keeper into the back of the net to put the Ruts one up.
With the wind against in the second half the Ruts actually created more chances but couldn’t convert. We were punished for the misses when HSBC broke the defence down the wing and crossed for a tap in to equalise the game. The Ruts dug deep and continued to make chances and with 5 left a nice one two with Murphy/Lines allowed Murphy to bundle home a winner.
It was a satisfiying solid performance espically from the back four, on a big pitch, world cup willy goalies and with only one sub and multiple drop outs it was a nice way to end the season.

Result from Saturday 4th April

The Ruts bowed out of the League Shield in disastrous fashion, as the wheels well and truly fell off of their mini-revival bus. A gifted goal in the first minutes set the the tone and despite the fact that the Ruts dominated most of the first period they were left to rue a disallowed Fraser header and some inspired keeping from the AC No 1 to stop them from levelling – despite the pressure the hosts dealt a sucker blow by doubling their tally close to the interval.

The second period saw AC gifted an early third and despite them being reduced to 10 men midway through the period, the damage had been done and the Ruts poor season ended with a whimper.

Roll on 2014-15 as things can only get better!……….
