with quickly and comfortably.

has a chance to get a shot in but is off target.

this time delivers an excellent cross but Fry’s were unable to convert.

start off strong putting Fry’s under pressure straight from the whistle.
Mickey broke away with a strong run in midfield with a
good pass up to Kyle who was unfortunate to not trouble the visitor’s keeper.
Kyle, determined to create, wins the ball back with
some quick footwork and gets another shot off, again not troubling the Almonds
keeper.
Lee Heath on for Jack Dancey
who gets stuck into the game and puts some good forward passes together to
create chances for Kyle and Mickey.
Both teams battling hard
for the ball and with Jack Dancey receiving a pass
from Lee who cuts in to the box and forces the keeper to get down to make an
important save to give the teams a goalless draw.
