Once again, we played another team of similar ability to our own. Priory Celtic turned out in a very smart green and white kit, but were only able to field enough players to play 7v7 rather than our usual 9v9.
Star Strike started the stronger of the two sides, attacking quickly from the off, but Priory defended well and managed to hold back the Star Strike attack.
Star Strike got the break they deserved, when a quick break found Ezra in space to lash home a fine goal from 5 yards.

Priory fought valiantly for the rest of the first half, winning several corners, but Star Strike's marking was excellent throughout and Cayleb's goal was never really under threat.
The second half started as a more lively affair, with Priory pushing hard for an equaliser from the start. Their link-up play was improved after the half-time talk and Star Strike were limited to just a few shots on goal, none of which found their target.
Three times, Star Strike found themselves through one-on-one with the Priory keeper, who played brilliantly keeping the ball out of his net on each occasion.

Priory's improved performance in the second half saw them rewarded with a fine goal, when their striker picked up the ball in space and smashed it past a diving Cayleb for the equaliser. For once, the Star Strike's marking was not as good as it could have been, resulting in this goal.
The game finished with a series of Star Strike corners, but the winning goal just would not come as many chances were put wide or were well saved by the keeper - clearly Priory's Man of the Match.
A well-earned draw against a good opposition!
