BISPAA FC - Tournament Reports
30 November 2008 - Street, Somerset
After travelling through a snow blizzard to get to Street we had
a fantastic day. The team really gelled well and worked
together impressively to get their best results this season.
Pete Til was top goal scorer with 8, he had some great shots
from distance including one which he sailed into the back of the
net from just passed the half way line, definitely goal of the
day. Pete once again proved what a versatile player he is by
falling back and defending well in partnership with Malcolm Hawke
and Glen Smith. Malcolm had a day’s goal tally of 4 and
enjoyed some physical encounters on the wing driving attacking
players off the ball with his superior skills. Glen’s
strength lies in his ability to remain calm, understand the way the
game is going, and take the ball through the midfield to an
attacking play. He also scored 4 goals proving that he can
finish well under pressure. Scott Leat showed some good
skills up front when he was able to keep a cool head, once he was
on the score sheet he settled well and put 5 goals past Bristol
Rovers Pirates FC. Stuart Frankcom played a very focussed
tournament, closing down players and putting them under pressure,
he scored 3 goals today and should’ve had more but for a muddy
patch in front of goal which made him lose his footing and caused
him to fall. Gareth (Sergeant Major) Webb showed how valuable
he is by urging on the team and keeping morale high on this cold
day. Goalie Gareth Longley managed his area well and his
defenders showed what trust they have in him by consistently
following his instructions, Gareth didn’t let them down we only
conceded one goal all day, in our loss to Swindon Leopards FC.
Many people travelled to the Somerset FA hosted fixture
including Lynda Deane who unfortunately had to leave after one game
due to a pressing engagement with Clark’s Village. A very big
thank you to all our supporters.
