Friendly v the Hawks Report

We had our first friendly of the season on Wednesday night against Felixstowe Hawks, where we met up with a few familiar faces.

Charlie worked his socks off in the centre and almost demolished the crossbar with a shot from outside the box. Freddie managed some great runs up the right touchline and found his range with his crosses. Matty was unlucky not to score from a few of them and hit the post. Ollie had more to do in the second half and kept us in the game with a string of great saves. Dan replaced Will on the right and
