Match Report: Workington v Cockermouth

On the 22 September Workington played Cockermouth. (We play for Workington.) As the game kicked off the ball went straight to Workington. The ball was kicked down the pitch to the right winger, and all of a sudden he crossed it into the box and the ball deflected off the goalkeeper. It went in the bottom right corner. Only two minutes into the game and Workington were 1-0 up.

When Cockermouth kicked off again they just thumped it up the field to Workington’s keeper. He played it to the left-back and he knocked it up to the left-winger. As the winger took a shot it deflected off another player and fell at the left-back’s feet. He took a shot from the halfway line. It went over all the players and landed at the back of the net. He raised his arms in joy. Then it was half time. Workington were having the time of their lives but Cockermouth were furious.

Ten minutes into the second half and Workington were teasing them as they took another shot and another goal was created. A few minutes on and Cockermouth were even more frustrated, so they decided to play their type of game and while they were attacking they decided to pick up a goal (3-1). But it didn’t stop Workington scoring another astonishing goal. It was all over as it was too late for Cockermouth to come back.

The whistle went.  Game over. 4-1. It was the best game of our season so far as we were on top form.
