Goytre began nervously and nearly paid the price after 3 minutes when a Liam McCreesh shot was somehow blocked by the Goytre keeper, the ball hitting the crossbar before going behind for a corner. 

On 7 minutes Andrew Pearson had a far post header saved, 2 minutes later we went behind in bizarre fashion.  Wyn had the ball in the area and everyone bar Kevin Bartley and Richard Ryan retreated at least 30 yards from goal.  However Wyn's kick out somehow hit Bartley and fell nicely for him to square the ball to Ryan who steered the ball into the empty net.  

We've conceded some odd goals this season and this is certainly up there with them. To our credit we equalised within 4 minutes when Chris Piper found Andrew Pearson unmarked in front of goal and he made no mistake from 10 yards.  Minutes later in a goalmouth scramble we had 3 efforts blocked by a massed defence.

Then in a rare Goytre attack on the stroke of half time Chris Piper lost the ball 25 yards from goal, 3 missed tackles and a close call for offside later Goytre went 2-1 up.

The second half lacked the passion of the first and there were fewer chances created.  With 10 minutes to go a ball over the top of the Goytre defence caught them out, Ian Jones did all the hard work and with only the keeper to beat blazed the ball over the crossbar.

Beside the result the other disappointing feature of the game was we had 8 yellow cards, mostly for dissent, this is something that the management team MUST address for next season.
