Ravens 1-4 Masterframe

Ravens went into this game with only 1 striker raring to go in Kyle Moss, so going into a game against a team in the position above us in the table was not ideal. Things were also made difficult because of the state of the pitch which was not fit for a pig to roll around in, actually what am I talking about it was perfect for a pig to roll around in. Add to this Agron Aiyegbeni refereeing his first match because he was the only person who could whistle without actually needing a whistle. Flabbergasting.
Anyway the game started equally with both teams going close and Ravens looking as though despite all of this they could nick a result. Kyle Moss twice went close and looked very dangerous. Against the run of play Masterframe took the lead plainly because of the muddy conditions, Liam waited for the ball to roll to him but the ball lodged onto the puddle on the penalty spot, to be slotted home from there. Ollie Patterson then went close almost straight after from 30 yards when he hit the angle with a great effort, Ravens then equalised through danger man Kyle Moss from a well anticipated volley from about 12 yards. From this point on Ravens looked as though they were taking complete control of the game and could have taken the lead several times before the 2nd half.
Ravens went into the 2nd half determined to take the 3 points and were again unlucky not to take the lead as we began to pile on more pressure then an elephant on a tyre swing. However against the run of play Masterframe took the lead through a neat finish which took the wind out of our sails. However Ravens continued to knock on the door for about 20 minutes until the bare 11 that we had going into the game turned into a bare 9 thanks to an injury to Tarik Foley, and John Burdett picked up a horrific foot injury. Despite all of this Ravens kept giving it 100% and Masterframe only had 1 way of dealing with the threat and that was kicking and shoulder barging, which went unpunished because of the unofficial referee, otherwise we could have had a 9 a side match. Masterframe went on to add 2 more goals to their tally which were both against the run of play.
Ravens were extremely unlucky to lose this game 4-1 but good finishing from Masterframe keeps them higher then us in the league table.
