A real game of two halves, with the wind blowing with Emma in the first half, and against in the second. Unfortunately it strengthened during the half time break, and Rob's opportunistic goal (preying on a mishandle by the keeper) was not enough to prevent another game being lost from a 1-0 lead. Caius scored two good goals, the first only a few minutes after the Emma goal after a passing move in front of the stranded Adam, who looked slightly out of sorts at left back, and the second a flick-on in the second half which put their striker clean through on goal.
A game of few highlights for the Emma boys, who never really got their best football going, although a fine first half save from Hans and Olly's fantastic chip in the second - which just missed the top of the goal, at 1-1 - threatened to turn the game in Emma's favour. Tom also had a chance well saved afer good work down the left by Olly and James. But despite a lot of effort Emma once again failed to create much, and we now really need a win to regain some momentum.
