No Saints put in a superb performance to record a second win in two games at the start of the season. Last night, The Closers, who had won 11-4 the week before, came into the game with a worrying top goal scorer who fired in five goals in the opening game.
But No Saints were solid from the off and produced a display to be proud of. The first half began with Abib slotting home two fine finishes to give us a two goal cushion. I had to come out of goal because of poor vision as day became night and Aaron and Nathan covered the rest of the game very well.
The second half was a gutsy defensive display but The Closers never really tested us until the latter stages. The big number seven began to use heavy handed tactics to try and roughen us up a bit but his frustration nearly, and probably should have, earned him a blue card. The Closers finally broke through and scored with a minute to go and set up a nervy last sixty seconds but we hung on and claimed an impressive victory.
Next up are The Players, the side beaten by the Closers last week, and despite their early defeat should still provide good opposition so no room for complacency as we look to make No Saints history by winning three games in a row for the first time ever!
