Roff Justice

Newhaven FC play Roffey FC at Fort Road in the Southern Combined Premier League

The Dockers ⚓ are second in the league 😎 and face the Boars πŸ— who sit bottom and winless 😒. With the Dockers in action again on Monday, there are a few being rested with Little and Henry on the bench. The Boars only have just 1 sub. Feel sorry for him sat there on his own.

The Boars nearly scored in the first minute but after that it was, mostly but not quite all, one way traffic. Dockers dominated possession and camped out in the Boars half, attacking the Skatepark end. The first half turned into a goal fest and went Lukas on 5⚽, Lee under the keeper on 7⚽, Callum on 17⚽, Callum claiming an OG after a scramble in the 6 yard box on 24⚽, Lukas on 28 ⚽ and then Lukas getting his hattrick on 34 ⚽. 6-0 at half time.

The second half started the same with Josh on 47 ⚽, Connor claiming his 'hattrick' on 50 ⚽. Charlie scored on 62 ⚽ then Tyler Scrafton got his first for the Dockers on 63 ⚽. I looked like the Dockers had settled for 10 as it went flat for a while before Lukas got his 4th on 87 ⚽. The scoreline is little harsh on the visitors who tried to attack and a consolation goal or 2 wouldn't have been undeserved.

A strange game where the opposition were leaking goals but not responding with changes to tactics. It was Plan A, play from the back whatever then consequences. If at first you don't succeed, press on regardless. Very British. They have now conceded 105 goals this season. Some xG that.

Ref didn't do much wrong and was even a good enough sport to allow one of the Dockers to play a one two off him

POTM: Lukas takes the trophy πŸ†for work rate as well as goals, never stops running and pressing and chasing the ball.

Hot choccy was as yummy as ever. 8/10

See you in the West Midlands tomorrow.
