After a dynamic start to the season the Bears took to the field full of confidence last Sunday to face a much improved Stones side.
The first half was a toughly fought encounter with both sides battling hard for possession. Although the Bears had more attacks, a clear cut opportunity would not present itself and by the time Alfie had made a brave save at the feet of the Stones striker, the spectators were begining to become more tense.

Both teams had the opportunity to score in the first half, with goal mouth scrambles, but the ball just would not drop favourably.

Into the second half and the wind picked up allowing the Stones keeper to kick the ball into the Bears penalty area. The Stones striker leapt on his chance and left the Bears keeper no chance.

However, The Bears continued to press for an equaliser and good chances fell to both Cameron and Ben but they just couldn’t finish them. Roman continued to break up play with some fantastic challenges, feeding Milo who jinxed down the wing with both Ben and Patrick supporting, but the spirited Stones side had lots of players back defending and blocked all attempts.

With the game approaching the finish The Bears threw everyone forward, but another long kick by the keeper saw an excellent finish by the Stones striker and the whistle blew.

A two nil loss – but some great team spirit and with more effort like that the Bears will continue to improve.

Well done boys and bad luck this weekend. A two week break now follows.
