This was certainly one.

Hosting a team at 3rd in our division, Thirsk having lost the last 2 games; even at home we may have been a bit concerned!
With a squad of 15 at least we had some subs, so the first half started. Thirsk were pressured straight away and several attacks into the D resulted in some short corners and free hits from just outside. From one of these Ben Rhydding scored, a shot hit from right on the line. A bit of discussion followed but the goal was awarded. Despite a few excursions into the Ben Rhydding half, the game continues to go in their favour and we finished the first half 3-0 down. A rearranged formation seemed to be the answer and so the control moved in our direction. Tackling was more productive, passing went to our sticks and before long Thirsk were on the score sheet with a well taken short corner. And so it continued, and although Ben Rhydding had an occasional visit to the Thirsk half, the pressure continued and so a further two goals came our way. A second half that shows what we can do, and what we should concentrate on next time out; next week away at Leeds Adel.
