The Whites go down fighting
Despite having two players missing Whites played some great football in the first half with Evans running the midfield. Midway through Johnstone gathered the ball in midfield and played an intelligent pass in behind the defenders of Moorgreen for Hallam to run onto and score with his left foot. As the half time whilst blew, Whites held out for a 1-0 lead.
The second half started well for both teams but with the wind at their backs Colts encamped themselves in the Whites half and got their first goal after a defensive mix-up. This proved to be the decisive moment in the game and Moorgreen gained in confidence from the goal, going on to score another almost straight after.
Whites striker Diriso was unlucky to see his shot go wide which would have made the score 2-2, but with defenders tiring and midfielders finding themselves out of position Colts scored the final goal of the game to go on to win by 3-1.
Special mention should be made for Whites goalie Brown who although starting only his first league game in goal showed great potential and produced a number of good stops. Additionally midfielder Johnstone did well and went on to be awarded the Whites Man of the Match.
