Score 9-3 (Win) Summary: Red Salamis were pretty much in control throughout the course of the game. The score line pretty much reflects this. No matter what the quality of the opposition you still have to get the result and we did exactly that. A totally deserved Game Positives: James : Showed his usual energy as a wing back. This is one of many games where James has gotten on the ball and affected play. Apart from a few hard challenges nothing James could not handle. A totally deserved hat-trick for the star player.  Man of Match Michael: another accomplished performance buy Michael, he just need to control his temper when the opposition antagonise him. A very accomplished performance by Michael who wasn’t really tested throughout the game. Theo: Worked hard for the team and grew in confidence throughout the game. Theo realised there was an opportunity to score against the quality of opposition and took his chance to score. At times he was a bit out of position but overall had a solid performance. Brian: This man dreams goals and he has usurpingly scored again. Really start to hit form with great ball control and devasting finish. What I a most impressed with is the work he puts in for the team by tackling and pressing. Matteo: Really starting to show consistency. There is not a defence in the league that can hold this man when he is on form. With his strength, pace and technique Matteo is defiantly one to watch in this team and in the league. Going forward I would like to see him link more play with the rest of the team but you cannot ignore his results or his work rate. Keep up the good work!! Tyler (AKA The General):  would have liked to have seen him go forward more in this game and get himself some deserved goals but a solid performance as usual. Jaden: An amazing professional who always gives a hundred percent whether it a match or training. Lately he has begun to develop more of an awareness of his role and contribution to the team which has seen his level as a footballer rise. With this progression he has helped to add value to the team and become a dependable member in those tight and challenging games. Based on today’s performance Jaden was unlucky not to get man of the match. Jamie: Not really challenged that much in  defence but did what he had to do as usual, Jamie’s reading of the game cannot be underestimated and his ability to pre-empt danger and intercept challenges have helped the team to win many games. Today Jaime even managed to help himself to a well-executed penalty goal. Well done Jamie!!! Special Mention: Thank you to all of you who went in goal today, that really helped the team and it is very much appreciated. Game Issues: A very comfortable game for the reds with not too much of a challenge presented. It would have been great to keep a clean sheet but as the result shows we were never in any real danger. Injury Table  Andoni – Ankle Dylain – Sick Caleb – Knee – Get well soon guys, hope to see you soon.
