"You shall not enter!"
The clash against Horsford was a crucial three pointer, with the opposition having a late resurgence with wins against Scole and Hindolveston (two of our main rivals).
With the clock change, we were up and about early. Luckily the weather was kind with plenty of sunshine and an increase in temperature.
Heigham kicked off with a defensive line up of Frankie, Evie and Sam holding the back line - playing safe just to see what Horsford could throw at us.
Ted played in goal for the first half with Archie R and Arthur up-front and Aidan midfield. Sol waited patiently for the change.
Heigham held out well with few scares so we changed the formation after ten minutes and went on the attack. Sol came on for Evie and we pushed forward. Horsford bagged the first goal as Ted made a save that defelcted back to the feet of a Horsford player who was able to send it into the net.
After a somewhat elaborate celebration from Horsford, the red and whites kicked off again. Luckily Arthur was able to bag a goal almost straight away from and Archie R assist.
Heigham upped the work rate putting lots of pressure on and another run from Arthur and left-foot toe poke saw the away side go 2 - 1 up.
Half time came and went, Evie replaced Ted in goal and the formation remained the same. The sides were more evenly matched in the second half, although Horford produced very little for Evie to deal with except a couple of worrying goal mouth 'ping-pongs'.
Ted came on for Archie R and had a few opportunities with one clear chance but was penalised for a high boot. Sol so nearly had a header on goal but was pushed from behind, unseen by the young ref.
The last move of the game was a free kick to Horsford. Luckily the well struck shot went wide leaving Heigham with 2 - 1 victory.
Well done to them, a match played with some great team moves - especially the back passes using the defenders when moving forward. Thanks to Jez for deputising for Tom and James.
