WEEK 3: 25/9/96 GEOG 1 CCFC 5, attendance: 18

CCFC now have two wins under their belts after a clumsy derby game with GEOG. The game started off without a touch for GEOG as Hajisavvi left them to pick the ball out of the goal. Walsh weighed in with a quick hatrick to match an impressive performance. However it must be said that many chances were squandered and not just because of some stalwart goalkeeping on GEOG's keeper's part.

The second half was played somewhat frantically with neither side achieving any clear passing pattern. But chances came thick and fast via constant mistakes, unfortunately CCFC's finishing matched GEOG's erratic defending and only produced one goal. The goal crowned an excellent performance at the back from Ayling with his trade mark "rocket" shot a minute after Walsh was substituted.

The defensive side of CCFC's game is showing great strength with only one goal conceded in two games. Walsh's new found energy as "middle man" is a great plus, it may well be due to Neal Christie's shoes! The CCFC manager loaned his trainers to Walsh and we've witnessed one of his best performances yet. We only hope to see Hajisavvi find the form which has made him the best striker in the division for many seasons. It may be worth while though as his team game has improved excellently, hence the small numbers in the "goals against" column.

TEAM:Ross Bates, Paul Ayling(11), Paul Hajisavvi(1), Simon Walsh(2,3,4)(Roy Banks-10min).
