report by Peter Reynolds
This game
was over as a contest well before half time. When the half time
whistle came a 4-0 lead was reward for some of the excellent
football that we played.
We took the
lead on 6 minutes when a Craig Jones cross from the right was
headed home by Ian Jones. Four minutes later we broke from a YM
corner and Craig played a square ball to John Felton forty yards
out. John kept his composure with several defenders in his wake
and coolly slipped the ball home as the keeper tried to close him
down. On 25 minutes we made it 3-0 when an Ian Jones shot was
saved by the keeper who couldn't hold it and Craig Jones was on
hand to score.
On 40 minutes
a five man movement saw Sean O'Leary played in, he beat the keeper
from the edge of the box but the ball drifted just wide on the
wind. However a minute later we had the fourth when a Carl Evans
shot was blocked by the keeper, Ian Jones was the first to react
and score.
On 53 minutes
Ian had a chance for his hat-trick after being put clear but his
lob from outside the box went for a corner. Shaun O'Leary's
corner found the head of Carl Evans and he made no mistake from
twelve yards. Four minutes later we took off Carl Evans and
Chris Latham and replaced them with Luke Harrington and Corey
Thomas.
On 72 minutes
Shaun played a through ball to John Felton and his right wing
cross was headed wide by Ian Jones.
On 78 minutes
the YM reduced the arrears when one of their subs fired home from
25 yards and in added on time they had a second with another shot
from the edge of the box. There was still time for Shaun
O'Leary to hit the crossbar with a 25 yard shot before the final
whistle went on a thoroughly entertaining game with some excellent
goals.
