MATCH REPORT;Madison10 Southington1

Guys, guys....I wanna talk to you about when it rains.....

When it rains it pours, or so the old saying goes, and after the veritable drought of goals in last weeks game against Bridgeport, today was a rip roaring deluge. The short hand version of the game was that Jorge scored four, Rohan scored three with Tom, Ron and Danny picking up the scraps to make it a perfect 10. In between all these goals Southington, to their credit , kept going and scored a decent goal which prevented an even tougher whitewash for them.

You could tell after 5 minutes of this game that Madison had their tails up and Southington were in for a torrid time. After that small amount of time Madison had already hit the bar twice and the post once as they bombarded the Southington penalty area. It was therefore no surprise when a tidy set of quick passes found Rohan running strongly into the box to slam in the first goal for Madison. Shortly after that he repeated the trick with another great powerful run and goal after a great midfield tackle by Carlos that won possession. Carlos was also instrumental in the third as he whipped over a wicked cross from the left hand side of the field which Ronnie smartly dummied and there was Jorge at the far post to head the ball into the net for the third goal. Ronnie's smart play was rewarded shortly after this when he received the ball in the box from Carlos and slotted the ball into the net for Madison's fourth of the game.

The goal scoring then took a step up in quality as dead ball specialist Danny, stepped up to curl a phenomenal 25 yard free kick high into the far left hand side of the fully stretched Southington goalie. A truly unstoppable shot and at this point so were Madison. Before the half time whistle went Jorge managed to score his second, and Madison's sixth of the half. A great first half with some truly fantastic goals and some great tackling and possession play by Carlos.

The second half again started off at a brisk pace with Madison attempting to keep possession of the ball with some neat passing. This paid of handsomely when first Rohan, then Jorge completed their hat tricks to take the score to eight nil. At this point Madison clearly took their foot of the pedal and Southington started to control the game with some powerful running. Having said that, it was still a bit of a shock when they managed to score against the Madison defence which prior to the goal had had little to do. Normal service was restored when Jorge slammed in the ninth goal for the home team and Tom rounded of the scoring with a tap in to make it ten just before the final whistle sounded. A strong performance by Madison against a weak Southington side who fought hard but were never really in the game. Let's hope Madison can keep up this form as they next play Milford in the league.

Loved the white gloves Jorge!
