Today, we faced Gornal Athletic, who previously defeated us 3-2. As this is the final match of the season, we aimed to demonstrate our capabilities.

The game commenced with Old Wulfs appearing anxious on the ball yet managing to circulate it effectively. Both teams created opportunities, but Old Wulfs appeared to be the stronger side. Thirteen minutes in, Gornal took a long-range shot that sailed over Harry, resulting in a score of 1-0.

However, Old Wulfs remained undeterred by this setback and advanced aggressively in midfield. In the 21st minute, Kyle delivered a splendid pass to Harry G, who successfully equalised at 1-1. Just a minute later, Dan earned a free kick and delivered an excellent ball to Kyle, who struck it home, making the score 2-1 in favour of Old Wulfs. Unfortunately, in the 27th minute, Old Wulfs made an error, allowing Gornal to capitalise and level the score at 2-2. The match then became a back-and-forth contest, concluding the first half at 2-2. 

Phil addressed the team, emphasising the importance of maintaining their passing game, as Gornal struggled to cope with our ball movement. The second half began, and just three minutes in, Old Wulfs made another mistake, leading to Gornal scoring and taking a 3-2 lead. Following this, Old Wulfs intensified their efforts, creating numerous chances but failing to convert. In the 67th minute, Dan sent a ball into the box, where Kyle executed a bicycle kick, crossing it to Ethan, who headed it down for Josh to scramble it across the line, equalising at 3-3.

With only three minutes remaining, Old Wulfs fought valiantly, engaging in hard but fair challenges. We had one final opportunity, but ultimately, the match ended in a 3-3 draw. It was unfortunate for the team today, but we will regroup and prepare for the next season.
