Starting XI

BARFC bounced back from there exit of the Essex Cup with a comfortable win over Division 5 rivals Maiden Res.

BARFC started the game cautiously with the team maybe lacking abit of confidence from last week but as the game went on the team began to grow in confidence and the first goal came when Gifford got into the box and smashed home into the near post for 1 - 0.

BARFC with the lead now looked alot more comfortable and when a through ball to Woodhouse was dummied and taken by Marrington the midfielder was left in acres of space to thump home a drive into the top corner for 2 - 0. Before half time BARFC made there lead even bigger when a lovely interchanging move ended in a cross into the box finding Saye to head home for his first league goal of the season, making it 3 - 0 as the half time whistle went.

BARFC came out in the second half and just began to look more comfortable than ever on the ball in bad conditions and long spells of possesion paid off when the ball came square to Woodhouse on the edge of the 18 who unleashed a rocket into the roof of the net to cruise BARFC into a 4 goal lead.

As the game closed out at times BARFC were playing football in Maidens Box and eventually Wright managed to squeeze a shot off and into the corner to round of the rout for 5 - 0. The ref decided to blow for time 5 mins early as the game was a full gone conclusion but BARFC can take comfort in there ability to score goals without Drake and Owen and keep a clean sheet without the Captain O'Brien and a strong debut for new signing Alderson.
