Cranleigh started well pressing from the kick off it was clear that Chesworth had come to defend and to try and catch us on the break we kept good possession for the first 10 mins with Dom testing the keeper twice from long range early on. Chesworth countered a few times and proved they had some pace up front but Jack and Elliott taking care of any dangerous through balls In the 17th minute Cranleighs pressuring Finally paid off as Raul found space on the right wing steeped inside his defender running a cross the box and slotted it inside the post for a nice finish 1 nil On came the subs and the pressure continued and Oli from the left wing hooked a cross over and picked out Arthur who headed well into the goal deflecting off Chesworth centre half to make it 2 nil
Cranleigh continued to apply pressure finding hard to breakdown a well organised defence and Chesworth continued to look dangerous on the break but some good work from Rylan and Oli provided a chance for Doms on the left flank he stepped past the right back and fired into the roof of the net to make it 3 nil
The coaches at half time demanded a shorter passing game to break down the opposition and Rowan stepped up to the mark creating good link play with Raul and Rylan down the right wing. Chesworth still looking quick on counter a through ball created there only decent chance of their game and the striker rounding the Jake and hit the woodwork missing a sitter Cranleigh responded pushing the ball through the middle of the park and Arthur got on the end of low through ball and with some good quick dribbling he then placed it left of the keeper a great strikers goal 4 nil
Cranleigh started to up the game in the last 20 minutes Rowan continued to keep the play with short triangles and picking out Dom who slotted through to Arthur and he slipped past the left back and picked out Arthur Fuller who headed well into the net for 5 nil. Cranleigh continued to press with Doms forcing the defender wide swept past and crossed it over the keeper who made a mess of it and Rylan was there to slot it home from 2 yards. His Dad says he’s deadly from there ! 6 nil Well played Cranleigh everyone gave 100% today it’s a close call for Mom as Rowan played the ball around just how the coaches asked at half time but Jack Mitchell played like a veteran sweeper all day so I will leave that up the Andy to make the call
