6.30pm
This was Galaxy’s 2nd game in two days and their 3rd league game of the new season and they knew they were up against it as they faced Kingston Park Galaxy who reached a number cup finals last season as well as just been piped to promotion. Kingston Park turned up not know what to except from Galaxy, as well as all others in the league because it was our 1stseason playing on the Sundays, but as Kingston Park were to find out we aren’t going to be the whipping boys and we are here to challenge.
The game started with both teams from the off trying to have a go at each other and the passing from both sides was wonderful to watch as everything was played on the ground. The game was starting to be won in the midfield as each side went close early on but no saves from either keeper had been made. Then 20 minutes into the game striker Callum ran past the Kingston park right back using his power and pace to catch onto a through ball and with just the keeper to beat from the angle he shaved the post. Kingston Park replied with a few corners of their own but Galaxy dealing with their threat every time they played the ball into the box, 0-0 at half time.
The second half started and Galaxy and Kingston Park again not letting each other settle on the ball and again it was a real tough battle as both sides were given everything in this game. The 1st goal off the game went to Kingston Park as Galaxy allowed a sloppy goal to be conceded from our point of view but take nothing away from the goal that was scored as the Kingston Park lad cut inside the box and smashed home the 1stgoal 1-0. Galaxy restarted the game and went at Kingston Park and shortly after the chance came for the equaliser but Star Striker Dom couldn’t find the net as their keeper made a great save low down. Again Galaxy looking on top and pushing for the goal they deserved went close as winger Sam played a ball around the back of the Kingston park defence for Dom to run onto but he smashed the effort just over the bar, you could sense it was just going to be one of those nights again. With 5 minutes left Ethan jockeyed past one and then was fouled on the edge of the box, was this the moment, Sam placed the ball down and ran up to hit but it went straight into the wall, the ball leapt into the air and it fell for Sam to hit the ball on the volley towards the top corner, the Kingston Park keeper tried his best to save the ball but it found its way into the goal, 1-1 the lads were ecstatic it was the goal that they deserved. There was minutes remaining and Kingston Park came flying back at Galaxy but they couldn’t get through them as they cleared their lines and Galaxy now playing 2 up front the ball fell to Dom who turned and played Callum in who ran past their centre back and with just the keeper to beat struck the ball into the bottom corner, but somehow their keeper pushed the ball wide and the referee blew the whistle for full time, 1-1 as both sides shared the points.
It was another game which Galaxy feel as they could have won as they kept creating chances but just couldn’t finish, it was a fantastic game played by both sides and a point gets the lads on the board and raring to go again in the league. Kingston Park will also feel as they could have won with their chances they created but both sides will have to settle for a point.
