Not sure how to unpack that game. In what on paper is close to our strongest squad, Vikings took control of the game after 5 or so minutes of the first half. playing some fantastic football and going 2 -0 up.

Matthias rising high from a Tomas corner, and Tomas then capatilising on mix up at the back for Gaelic. As the half grew on, so did vikings efforts on goal, with the Gaelic keeper making a superb save to deny both Peter and Alex before the half time whistle was blown. 2-0 Vikings at half time.

At the start of the second, more of the same when it comes to missing chances for Vikings, another couple of effort wasted early. Gaelic then took the game and kick into another gear, pouncing on some errors to get back in the game. for 20 minutes of the second half, Gaelic played some great football, and turned the game on its head. going 3-2 in front with 10 minutes to go.

As the all or nothing Viking spirit had one more gear to go, and Albert played a lovely ball to Joe who finished well with a couple minutes to go. Rollercoaster of a game, Fair play to Gaelic. Battled really well to get back in it when vikings dipped in second half.

And well done to Vikings for not giving up and fighting to the end.

Im going for a lie down!!
