report by Peter Reynolds
We gained the
three points but until Steve Parry scored after 90 + 5 a draw was
still on the cards. The first half was entertaining but it was a
poor second half littered with free kicks.
We took the lead after 5 minutes when a Steve Parry throw was
headed out to Chris Piper 23 yards out, he hit it left foot and it
went into the net just under the junction of the crossbar and
upright.
A combined move
between Ian Jones, Craig Jones and Liam McCreesh saw his shot
saved by the keeper. The ball went down the other end and their 9,
Lewis Sommers crossed low for Faris Yafai to score at the near
post. Ian Jones had a shot from 25 yards which went way over the
bar then after 16 minutes Liam scored from a long ball from Karl
Lewis but he was flagged offside. On 17 minutes a long shot from
the YM had Brian in trouble, he could only parry the shot and just
managed to drop on it before the attacker got to it.
After 26 minutes
Liam from a good position shot wide then Ian Jones and John Felton
had chances but their efforts lacked the power to beat the keeper.
On 31 minutes we had a left wing corner, Shaun O'Leary played it
in and Liam headed home from four yards. Craig Jones was replaced
after 46 minutes, he had a good run across the edge of the box and
as he shaped to shoot was tackled and injured. Greg Hurley
replaced him. Up to midway through the second half virtually
nothing happened, then Paul Evans tried his luck from 30 yards but
the ball went wide. Neither side could take the game by the scruff
in the second half but in the last five minutes at least we played
around their area and had a series of free kicks and corners.
In added on time
they had a free kick which Brian punched out to Steve Parry, Steve
picked the ball up on the edge of our area and ran at the
stretched YM defence. He got into their box drew the keeper and
slotted home. They kicked off and the final whistle sounded.
