Ravens continued their impressive form with a good win over our “bogey” team Moor Green.  Historically we out play Moor Green and more often than not finish the season above them in the table.  Some how they always seem to beat us twice in a season so it was nice to finally put that right.

We started with team that beat Oaklands but an un-easy start saw us under pressure.  The MG forward always causes us problems and today was no different.  We did get the 1st goal when Man of that Match Rob took a great 1st touch before thumping a volley into the roof of the net from outside the box.  MG were level within seconds when poor defending allowed the equaliser.

We began to play some decent football.  Sonny was cutting through the MG midfield and Halloran and Dylan were livening up.  Soon we fell behind to a typical corner.  Steve came for a corner but didn’t quite get it and were were 2-1 behind.

From this point on we dominated the game.  Graham went into defence to marshal the forward and fit again Henner's went into midfield.  Our football was impressive and Dayle was linking up with the forwards at every opportunity.  Rob was still surging forward and Henner’s added a hunger to our game as he was biting into tackles at every opportunity.

Our equaliser can when more good work from Sonny allowed Dylan to equalise from close range.  The came the best move of the game to put is ahead.  Jacko found Dayle who in turn released Dylan.  His measured pass put Halloran in and a neat finish  made it 3-2.

We were never really in any danger in the 2nd half.  We had more chances.  Dayle missed a good chance and Ryan almost scored just after going on.  Halloran stretched the keeper and Ryan’s cross led to Dylan's 2nd goal.

We kept the ball well in the 2nd half and some of the things we did in training were taken out onto the field.  The back four again was solid and Cardall, Barber and Jacko kept things tidy.

A good win and we have good momentum going into a tough game away at Oaklands.  They are sure to be out for revenge after we ended there long time unbeaten run last week.

Now that we have Henner's and Mark available we have the option to make changes to freshen things up.

We are starting to see glimpses of this sides potential to have an outstanding season.  Long may it go on.
