Real Milan 3 Taplow Boys 1



Real Milan continued their fine post season form with a good win against a talented Taplow Boys side. Real got off to a fine start on 8 minutes when Victor Ocansey fired home to put Milan 1-0 up. 15 minutes later, a fine Tom Emery run enabled Luke Thorpe to take advantage and he curled a sweet right foot shot into the corner to increase the lead. Amadou Samba and Chris Zuber had to work overtime to keep Taplows dangerous Jordan Lee Brown from getting a goal back. In the second half he came close on a few occasions but Samba was always there to clear the danger. With fifteen minutes left a vicious Ocansey free kick was touched home by Daryll Storey to increase Reals lead to three goals. A late Taplow goal ensured a hectic finish to the match but on the day Milan were worthy winners.
Lewis Martin was captain for the day on his 14th birthday and Amadou Samba was Man of the Match. Raj made a 10 minute appearance in the second half and did very well.
Real were without Josh Lake, Ashley Kang, Ricky Wheeler and Harley McAuley
