ASH 2 Deridder 3

[beckhamismyidol]

Decent game. ASH seemed to come out a bit sluggish and conceded really early on possibly one of the worst goals I've seen in a while. Number 14 for Deridder did a long throw in towards the goal, it was actually going in, however the goalkeeper touched it before it went in, therefore it counted instead of being just a goal kick. The game was really back and forth, no team had a good amount of possession and touches weren't great. Deridder played a lot through number 10 and number 14, i think number 24 did a lot of running on the left hand side and number 12 was decent, nobody else stood out much from what I remembered. ASH had two good front runners who worked hard for them and showed some good passing moves but just really looked slow at times. After half time ASH equalised from a shot that was deflected outside of the box by number 4 which bounced through to the forward number 6 who put it past the keeper, almost looked like a miss as it went through the net. Deridder took the lead again not long after on a deflected shot that went into the goal past the keeper, had a few really really good chances and pulled some amazing saves from the ASH keeper which kept them in the game. Deridder looked to have killed the game off with a third goal, ASH defender only cleared the ball to the top of the box and the Deridder player drilled it back in and scored. ASH fought back really well in my opinion and got a deserved goal for their play at the time. I think it was a corner or a cross from the right side that Deridder did poorly to deal with and number 10 finished easily to make it 3-2. For the last 5 minutes or so ASH really put the pressure on Deridder who did quite well and had their keeper make some big saves on crosses and shots to hold their lead. Not a bad game in the end, this district really is hard to say, like I said ASH looked really sluggish in comparison to the performance I saw against Pineville and so it really was just a result on the day, I think the next game could go either way, Pineville, Deridder, and ASH could all win this district, it's going to be about consistency from here on out as I think each team is now 3-1? *correct me if I'm wrong*

i have to say that this was a good game. both sides have their strengths and weaknesses so it was a pretty exciting match. ASH could have played with more intensity and better finishing by the strikers. i have a feeling ASH will rise to the occasion and dominate this district in the end.

yes i hafta agree with futbolla47 though most of his post are completley inaccurate i do believe ash will be able to step it up next time

one thing that is sure is that once again Zach Chatelain stepped up to his thrown as the best player on the field. he pulled off some amazing tricks to break the ankles of many Deridder players. I counted about 8 players that fell to the ground after zach was done with them. This was a good game to watch especially because zach decided to make it so interesting.
