A second clean sheet

Bridgwater 2s travelled to Bristol to play a Firebrands team that included an ex Bridgwater coach who played for Firebrands first team last season. Despite this it was Bridgwater that started the best and controlled the game for the first 15 minutes scoring two goals the first from a shot by Dom Court, which was outside the D but got a touch by Tyler Coleman to get his first competitive goal for the 2nds. The second was from a Ben Stone 16 where he lobbed it three quarters of the pitch to Tom Lott who went on to first of all lob a defender and then the oncoming keeper just showing how quick a goal can be scored from one end of the pitch to the other. Unfortunately Bridgwater were unable to keep the pace they had set going and stepped off the pedal a little which meant Firebrands spent a lot of time in the Bridgwater half having a number of short corners but with some solid defending and keeping Bridgy kept them at bay and grabbed a third late in the half again with a ball from Stone to Lott who this time dribbled past a few and again lobbed the keeper meaning the half time score was 3-0.
The second half was a much closer affair with the Bridgy defence and midfield really digging in with some important saves from goalkeeper Brad Palmer the best of them from on his knees just making sure something stopped the ball from crossing that line. Some tireless running from the midfield enabled Court to get the last goal and only one of the half to mean Bridgy won 4-0 meaning two clean sheets in two games. The ending team talk praised the work from the youth of the team who played out wide namely Tyler Coleman, Nikita Cernikovs and Sam Sweatman.
D of the Day was Ben Sims for picking up a green card. Men of the Match Tyler Coleman and Dom Court.
