Christchurch v Ringwood Rangers

Match Result: 5 - 0

Goal Scorers: Oliver D, Olly B (3), Harry

This was an unusual game for us because we normally start poorly and
then improve in the second half but we were the other way round today.
We had no Bubba (injured still) nor Ollie G (Bournemouth) and so started
with Scott (making his debut) in midfield next to Ethan. We dominated
play right from the beginning and inside the first five minutes a cross
from Oliver D was headed in by Olly B. Olly had completed his
hat trick inside 15 minutes.

Ringwood had a very tall, fast number 9 who was a constant threat and a
tussle with Max led to Max pulling up and having to miss the last ten
minutes of the first half and the whole second half. We scored two more
before half time, Harry and then a cracking free kick from Oliver D.

Ringwood reorganised in the second half and put their striker in
midfield which made them more solid. We too reorganised because of
Max's injury; Brandon had an excellent half as centre back next to Tom.

We seemed to lose our way second half. Very little passing; lots of
long balls and panicky first touches when people easily had more time
than they realised (and not being told by their team mates.)

So overall a bit disappointed but on looking on the website this was
actually Ringwood's heaviest defeat of the season so we should have been
more pleased; also Kingswood lost 3 nil at home to Cannon Colts so the
league is wide open again.
