Clements went behind when Eye-Ball's valiant effort to block a shot on the line resulted in the ball striking his arm as he slid in on the ground. The resulting penalty was converted, although Conor did well to get a hand on the ball.
Clements didn't let their head go down despite the omens not being good against a side averaging over 5 goals a game. Foggy has been making the headlines over the last few weeks for incredible misses from close range, so when H laid the ball off and Foggy hit the ball towards goal from 30 yards, you can imagine our astonishment to see it hit the top corner of the net. It was an awesome strike, and gave Clements a real lift: 1-1.
Unfortunately, things didn't get any better and despite H working tirelessly upfront on his own, Purfleet gradually wore us down. Matters weren't helped by a bad injury to Bunny midway through the second half, up to which point the score had been kept respectable at 3-1. They say that boxing is a cruel sport, but at least you have the option of throwing in the towel when your man is well and truly beaten. Although the referee's watch kept ticking, once the 4th goal went in Clements gave up and the flood gates opened.
The hurt and frustration at being humiliated in such a way was evident after the fine whistle, and hopefully this will be incentive enough to not let it happen again.
