Altofts 6 - 4 Rothwell Town

A game of two halves
Following what can only be described as a drubbing the week before, the CRL team aimed to bounce back away at Altofs. Whilst the first half was an improvement on the previous week the team turned around 3 nil down at half time and struggling to get in to the game. The second half was like watching another team as Rothwell really got stuck in and went after Altofs, pulling 2 goals back to make it 3-2 with goals from Lewis and Charles, before Altofs scored again. Rothwell came back again as the whole team chased and tackled everything, with the score at 5 – 4 to Altofs in the closing minutes. Rothwell made one last attack to get the equaliser and a great pass from Dan found Harry in the box but he was thwarted by a fine stop from the Altofs keeper.
Altofs added one more in the closing minutes to make it 6 - 4. Much improved performance all round with the whole team getting the share of the MOM. Special mentions go to Euan for some surging runs out of defence, Charles for his hat trick and George who played virtually the whole of the second half carrying an ankle injury. Well done for not giving in and showing a great
attitude working as a team which is sure to get us a few more wins
