Match Report
Real Milan stretched their unbeaten run to 5 games, with an emphatic win against 3rd place Burnham Yellows. Real had gone into the game with FIVE players unavailable, but the management decided to stay positive, keep the team focused, and they went on to produce an excellent team performance.
The Whites took only 5 minutes to open the scoring when hitman Anthony Gardner thumped home a typical left foot shot that the Yellows keeper did well to get a hand to. With Kevin Long and Tom Emery working well on the left, it was no surprise when an Emery through ball was played into Gardners path, and he cooly lobbed for his and Real's second of the game. Then Ashley Kang fired the third, after impressive play from Louis Martin and Man Of The Match Danny O'Sullivan. 5 minutes before the break and Kang grabbed his second and Reals fourth.
At Half time, Real coaches Roger and Tariq emphasised the need to work even harder, and to remain focused. The game was not won yet. The second half saw Yellows 'up' their own work-rate and they did not let Milan have it all their own way. Their defense tightened up on Anthony and they started to create more of their own chances. but the centre half pairing of Jack Evans and Ricky Wheeler dealt with most attacks comfortably. When Burnham did get through, they found Anthony MacCarroll in confident form and he never looked troubled.
With 15 minutes left, a breathtaking through ball from O'Sullivan put Anthony Gardner clean through on goal. But he was thwarted by a great save by the Yellows 'keeper. The ball then ran free for Kang to smash home his hat-trick and Milans fifth.
Then came a piece of pure Kang magic. Out on the right wing, he beat one player, then with a sublime turn beat another. He rode a heavy challenge from the full back and from an acute angle, fired in a right foot rocket for his fourth to make it six nil to Real!
Although Real weren't at their best, overall it was a good hard working team performance. Jordan Pritchard again covered every inch of grass and Kevin had his best game of the season. Josh Lake had a good game, but would be far sharper if he worked harder in training.
Yellows were no slouches, and were tough opponents who never gave up. Coaches Jim and Simon have installed a good work ethic and they look certain get stronger as the season progresses.
