The second game saw a complete turnaround in momentum. Rushall Village came out with renewed confidence and determination, eager to put their learning into action. From the outset, the team played with purpose – pressing hard, passing smartly, and showing fantastic positional discipline.
The standout moment came when Chester stepped up for a free kick just outside the box.

After sustained pressure and excellent team build-up play, he found space again and coolly slotted home a second.
