Jollilads continue winning ways since dawning of yingni

Jollilads 3 - 0 NTU

Yet another win for Jollilads as we go into the final weekend before our FA cup clash with Prisons, this time Jollilads took on the NTU side whom seem to be the better team right from the blow of the whistle. The Jollilads defence, consisting of Aaron, Chirs, Anand and Andrew, took a long time to settle down and NTU almost made Jollilads for the slack defending, when Andrew’s miss pass, set up a one-on-one opportunity for the NTU striker, only for the striker to blast the ball wide. NTU continued pushing and attacking with several NTU corners testing Aziz and the Jollilads defence. However the half went on, Jollilads finally looked more composed, passing and moving the ball around with more intent.

It was not long before, Khai punished NTU (like a real teacher would) for their fail chances, unleashing a superb free kick together with a slight deflection and went straight into the net. NTU was not to be rule out just yet, they continued sending the balls to their quick wingers only to be let down by their final ball. Just before the half ended, Jollilads again made NTU pay for their missed chances. Some good passing from Jollilads found Khai sending in a really good cross, finding Winston at the far post unmarked and making no mistake, Winston tapped the ball into the net, scoring Jollilads second for the night.

The second half was pretty much the same story with NTU surging forward looking to make a Liverpool worthy come back. And as the game continued, it seems clearer that this game was simply not a friendly with challenges flying all over the place, especially among the NTU players (insight info said competition at NTU this year was too much). To cap the night off, Chris, scoring his first (non-league) goal of the season is style, latched onto a ball that was well handed (its not a typo) down by Aaron just centimetres in front of the goal line, unleashed a shot that hit the top of the cross bar and into the goal.

Although it was definitely not the best performance from Jollilads, with two clean sheets and two wins in the lead up to our FA cup tie is a good indication. So let’s work hard and play harder on Monday and show prisons we ain’t prisoners they can mess with.

YingNi!
