Today we welcomed St Georges on a cold December morning for a friendly fixture. There was a light frost although the pitch was still playable.

Q1 – The first quarter was a fairly scrappy affair as neither side had played or trained for a couple of weeks. Worcester took the lead following good wing play on the right. Joe Palmer cut a cross back to the edge of the area and Finn Syson chipped the keeper with a well placed shot. Almost immediately, St Georges found an equaliser from a corner which the home side failed to clear and the ball was bundled across the line from close range. Worcester retook the lead from a George Bourne goal kick which bounced over the St Georges defence and Olly Berry ran clear and finished expertly from just inside the box. 2-1

Q2 – The second quarter saw Worcester in the ascendancy although there was only one goal added to the Worcester tally when Olly Berry cut in from the right hand side of the pitch, beat his man and riffled a shot into the top corner of the net. 3-1

Q3 - Worcester played some really good football in the third quarter and for long periods St Georges did not see much of the ball. Having said that, Worcester did not really trouble the St Georges keeper and no further goals were scored. 3-1

Q4 – In the final quarter, Worcester decided to try a few new things out and moved players around into unfamiliar positions. It appeared that St Georges did the same. As such, the game became a real end to end affair and there were numerous chances for both teams. Unfortunately, Worcester failed to convert any of their chances and St Georges were more clinical! St Georges scored twice to level the game, shortly before full time.

This was a really well contested game, and was just what both teams needed after a couple of weeks off!
