Happy to get our first win of the season on Saturday against Naenae. 

We lost another early goal and looked like we were going to be a few down but Naenae didn't take their chances in the first twenty mins.  We started to grow in to the game and their keeper made a few cracking saves before we got a penalty just before half time.  Ref then made me retake the pen because a few defenders had encroached which was a first for me.  Thankfully scuffed the retake down the middle after the keeper went the same way as the first one.  We got another a few minutes later with a half volley which went in off the post (which seemed the only way to beat their keeper) to go in 2-1 at HT.

Naenae started strong again second half and were putting a lot of pressure on our defence but we managed to ride it out and scored a third from a long diagonal which was headed in off the post again.

We got another penalty just before the end, probably a bit soft but the ref had given a lot of soft free kicks to both teams so we weren't complaining.   

Delighted with the win and getting all 4 goals was a nice bonus!
