THE DAY THAT WAS - AT MCEWAN RIDE
Wih management opting to play on the smaller, bobblier, grassy pitch over the waterlooged Stadium Pitch there appeared to be a degree of anxiety with breaking from the Halton norm.
Nonetheless the frightening high pressure and jack russel mentality all over the pitch quite frankly frightened the visitors back in to the changing rooms. This game demonstrated the quality of performance players can give if we are able to take the lead early on and relax into our rhythm.
Touted as Hickibotham's big return after prolonged absence, there was a degree of pressure amongst some with altering the winning formula of the midfield combination. I'm glad to say Hicki played out of his skin and hitting his 60yd diagonals with pinpoint accuracy; he set the bar for distribution to a new level.
Matt Williams early and positive from the left setup Turnbull to score, yet again, with his header shortly before Somerville anticipated and capitalised on Wanderers defense to put ICARUS 2-0 up.
In summary this was the most inspiring, connected team performance of my ICARUS history where I genuinly believe we were in a state of flow. It set the benchmarch for many individuals in doing things simply, making correct decisions under pressure and attacking when nessecary. When the referee stops you after the game to congratulateyour team for a beautiful display, you know things are going well.
Those who were there should never forget this formula 1 performance and the joy that it still brings to many.
