Another defeat today in a very even game against Boundary Park A that sadly carried on the story of the season. In the early stages Boundary dominated forcing Egan and Hammett into action at the back, a couple of Boundary corners were well defended by Brook and Field did well to push a half chance wide. At the other end Thomas was finding Jackson and Burke in space but any attempt they had on goal were snuffed out by a well disciplined Boundary defence. Brook lacked any commitment as the game moved on to many headers and passes going unchallenged as Boundary turned up the heat. The opener was inevitable a slick one two by the Boundary forwards put them in space and a powerful drive found its way through to goal. Brook huffed and puffed but couldn’t find a way past the impressive Boundary defender who seemed to mop up anything that came his way. In the final minutes of the first half Thomas found Jackson but his shot was well blocked and when the ball came out to Burke his effort was just wide. A couple of corners well delivered by Thomas put Boundary on the back foot but they never looked likely to make the break through. The second half saw the introduction of Gaffney at the back and Taylor was introduced up front with Hammett pushing on as well. This seemed to press Boundary back and from a quick taken corner Jackson hit a beauty straight into the top corner leaving the Boundary keeper no chance. With the game all square Brook pushed for the winner and it so nearly came Jackson found Hammett out wide and with the entire defence beat he opted unselfishly pass but the ball just passed Taylor. Egan was brought into action straight from this tracking back and making a great stop as Brook were nearly caught on the break. Brook changed things again and this time it back fired as they chased the game they conceded a free kick in the opposition area, the free kick was taken Beckham style leaving Field no chance as it nestled in the top corner. In the final minute Brook were caught cold a fine move by Boundary was well finished to end the game 3-1.Man of the match went to Egan for another defensive master class whilst the Boundary manager opted for the instrumental Jackson.
