The Barracudas’ second away trip of the season saw them up against opponents they hadn’t previously met in Torquespeed Eagles who are based in Tiptree.
With just thirty seconds on the clock, the Barracudas had the perfect start, Josh dispossessing an opponent before threading a left foot pass through to Zak, who with a composed finish, shot low beyond the keeper – and celebrated with an impressive floss!
The rest of the first half was very even. although towards the end of the half, Torquespeed got on the scoresheet themselves with a defence splitting pass and finish to match.
With all to play for in the second half, the Barracudas got off to an excellent start and with less than two minutes gone, Tyler made a storming run down the left before delivering a perfect cross for Josh, who with his back to goal, swivelled and knocked one in from close range.
Similar to the first half, the rest of the game was very evenly matched and with less than ten minutes to go, Torquespeed completed the scoring with an excellent passing move and finish.
There were some really encouraging signs in this match - the team had much better shape than some previous matches, were more disciplined with their positioning and looked solid defensively whilst also posing an attacking threat. Every player was on their game and were committed to doing their best for the team. It was a good performance against one of the strongest teams in the division.
As in previous weeks, there were a few candidates for the Man of the Match trophy. Tyler really shone in this match, was all over the pitch and made a fantastic contribution both defensively and on the attack. Ollie’s workrate was also particularly impressive but it is fair to say that there were good performances from everyone.
The Man of the Match trophy was awarded to Zak this week for a very well taken goal, a tremendous amount of effort and performing the role that he had been asked to do.
This was a really good game of football between two evenly matched sides on the day, some good attacking play, with neither defences giving much away. Week by week, the Barracudas are improving and it is great to see that they are showing that they are able to compete at a high level against some very good teams.
