Panthers still managed to create some great passing moves from Wilson Cooper, Vinnie Jones and Joshua Lester. 1-2 at half time. Panthers came out fighting working well as a team with some great runs from Wilson Cooper and Ryan Jones tracking back when needed to help Fraser Simms in defence. Panthers got caught out with another 3 goals in the second half, well taken goals for Cresswell, finishing 5-1 to Cresswell. Some great positives come out of this game, our passing, looking for team mates and finding space training is all paying off. Unlucky boys, great play in this tough game.
