Match Report
Real Milan got their first 3 points of the season today with an emphatic 3-8 win over a hard working, physical West Drayton B C. Tom Emery,Karim Usmani, Louis Martin,Anthony Gardner and Jack Evans were rested from the starting line-up, and Kevin Long, Sam Haggerty, Chris Zuber, and Scott Lawrie were given their first Real Milan league starts.
Real started the game brightly with Josh Lake proving a handful upfront. Following one of his dangerous corners, Scott Lawrie missed a great chance with a far post header. The opening goal game on 15 mins with the impressive Harley McAuley keeping cool to fire a smooth right foot finish beyond the West Drayton "keepers dive. This woke the Whites up, and 10 mins later Scott tore through the opposition defence to rifle a shot against the post and then slam the rebound home. West Drayton kept thier heads up and within 5 minutes had pulled goal back. A great free kick by number 14 curled over the wall and into the back of the net, evading the outstretched hand of Anthony McCarroll. Milan hit straight back and 5 minutes before the break Scott put Real further in front with another well taken shot on the run. The Ref blew for half time with Real Milan looking for a fourth.
Real decided to make a few changes during the interval with Kevin taking a well earned rest, and Tom deputising, and Karim coming on for 2 goal Scott. Karim was to have an immediate effect that brought Real 4 goals in the next ten minutes. First Harley ran past three players, took it round the'keeper for 4-1 and then the industrious Ashley Kang grabbed 2 in five minutes, one a stunning left foot volley from a brilliant Danny O'Sullivan cross, to put Milan 6-1 ahead. Ashley was then substituted for Jack Evans, and within 4 minutes of coming on, he rifled in a left footer into the corner to make 7-1. Real made 2 more changes bringing Louis Martin on for Captain Jordan Pritchard and Anthony Gardner for Chris Zuber. While the defense adjusted to 3 at the back Milan let slip another goal. But Anthony Gardner determined to show his skills cracked a beauty to make it 2-8. West Drayton grabbed a late third in bizarre fashion, but by then the match was over. Harley McAuley took over in goal for the last 17 minutes, with Anthony McCarroll playing left midfield.
For Real the heroes of the day were the hard working Sam Haggerty, Daniel O'Sullivan, Ricky Wheeler and Josh Lake. But the superb Harley McAuley was easily The Man Of The Match.
