Lingers Find Their Form In The 2nd Half

The Lingers made the trip down to the South Coast for their opening fixture of this seasons campaign where we met East Preston who had moved from the Prem to Div 1

The Lingers arrived in plenty of time and started their normal pre match routines which included a number of high intensity drills which was overseen by Bobby Clements as standing manager for Rob who was away on his holibobs.

The Lingers failed to bring their pre match intensity up to the level required that was expected against East Preston as we knew they are going to be a tough challenge against a young and a technical side which is made up of a number of Ex Worthing U21 players.

As a result of our low intensity The Lingers started slow and it wasn't long before we conceded a brace of goals if fact 4 which came down from both sides and through the middle.

The Lingers kept their cool and continued to play their own game while making EP work hard in the heat of the South coast.

HT East Preston 4-0

The break came to The Lingers with a sense of relief and as they sat for 15 mins the Team talk centred around energy, passion, desire, self belief, commitment.

The Lingers went out into the 2nd half scoring within 3 mins of the KO and continued to cause EP lots of problems with testing their Keeper and their defence the halftime time team talk worked as every Linger gave 110% and put themselves on the line.

FT East Preston 4-1
