Report:
AGFC continued their fine start to the 2008/09 season with another comprehensive win over Stu’s XI although they had to come back from a two goal deficit to achieve their ninth win of the season against three losses and one draw. Stu’s XI took an early lead when Scott in goal charged out to clear a ball, miskicked and ended up being lobbed by a Stu’s XI player. The opposition added another to double their lead and Fraser, playing for the opposition, was unlucky not to score a third as his long range effort cannoned off the crossbar. AGFC didn’t panic and continued to press forward looking to make an impact on the match. Their perseverance was rewarded when Rich fired into the top corner and Calvin scored two goals, the best of which was a blistering half volley from a Duncan cross as AGFC finished the first half in the ascendancy.
AGFC were confident during the interval that they had the firepower to add to their three goals and this proved to be the case as they added four more goals without reply although it should be said that they were indebted to three or four goal line clearances to keep Stu’s XI at bay. Firstly, Rich latched onto a loose ball in the penalty area and Duncan, who had hit the bar with a previous header, managed to find the far corner of the net from a Scott corner. With 15 minutes remaining Rich claimed the first AGFC hat trick of the night with a shot which took an eternity to cross the line while Calvin scored another fine goal as he picked up the ball on the right hand side of the field and beat one defender and the on rushing goalkeeper. Stu’s XI scored a late consolation, but it was not their night as a confident AGFC finished the year in style. A skilled and powerful attacking performance by Calvin meant he edged the ubiquitous Duncan for the man of the match honour.
