Dateline 16^th March 2016

 BBCU FC 2 NRFC 4

In this battle of the felines, The Pink Panthers were striving to overcome a Swatcats outfit who were looking to improve after a disappointing start to their campaign.

Junta TV strikes again on True4U so unable to comment on the first 20 minutes of the game which was not transmitted.

The Big Bang, luckily some may say, promoted after the demise of Police United, started hesitatingly with a smart drive from the visitors inches over. They then replied with a header saved by the Swatcat’s keeper.

The men from Korat then began a period of pressure concluding in a 20 metre drive from Malek which beat the keeper at the near post. With Adiyeah looking dangerous the Swatcats continued to press as they looked for a second goal.

The 34^th minute saw an excellent header from the home team that was inches wide and later a free kick was safely saved but in the 40^th minute Adido broke clear and slotted home a 20 metre drive – he looks class tonight – 2-0 to the visitors.

The second half began with  NRFC seemingly asleep as the home team seized the initiative and they pulled one back in the 53rd minute and with growing confidence put the Swatcat’s goal under pressure with a couple of chances created. They drew level in the 66th minute with a Swatcats’ own goal. The tempo of the game seemed to have shifted with BBCU gaining momentum.

Tagbajumi on as sub for Adido shot over from 20 metres and in the 78^th minute BBCU spurned a great chance to go ahead when Julius fired over.

In the 83rd minute, a defensive mix up allowed Tagbajumi to snatch an 83^rd minute goal and he followed it with a fourth in the 88^th minute.

At half time the Swatcats looked comfortable and it seemed that an easy victory would follow however they seemed to lose concentration and conceded 2 goals. Overall however a good performance against a poor BBCU outfit.
