Having had another 3 week lay off due to the weather the Vikings were pleased to be back in action in their league cup qtr final against Rushmoor Community Colts.
The Vikings started strongly with Ethan slotting home after 2 mins and Dan doubling the score a couple of minutes later. With the Vikings dominating possession and making full use of the space that Barney and Charlie were creating on the wings another quick brace followed with Ethan and Dan both grabing their second on 11 & 14 mins respectively. Ethan was on hand to finish off a fine move and complete his hat-trick on 17 mins with the Vikings totally in control.
Rushmoor pulled one back a minute later when they breached the Vikings defence and their striker clipped the ball over the onrushing Jim. Ethan added to his tally on 23 mins and Thomas scored our seventh on the stroke of half time neatly controlling a ball on the edge of the box before lobbing the keeper.
The lads were told to continue to play the impressive football they had produced in the first half and the duly oblidged.
Rather than loose their shape hunting more goals the Vikings kept playing as a team and although Rushmoor pulled another goal back another brace followed with Barney and Thomas finding the net. Max showed his composure when he received a pass on the edge of the box and neatly slotted the ball wide of the keeper to mark an impressive game in midfield. Callum was rewarded for his hard work up front as he slotted home after 52 mins and further late goals from Dan and Ben wrapped up a good all round team performance.
Well done fellas.
