WEDS 18 APRIL 07
FRY CLUB COLTS 6
SHIRE COLTS ‘B’ 2
The
start of our final run in of 4 home games in 11 days put us on Pitch 3 against
our last opponents some 4 weeks ago. All 15 players were available for
selection
Following
their late arrival, we started very strongly forcing the defence
back on several early occasions. Despite going close it was in the 18th
minute that we finally scored through a great through ball to Brad Monelle who beat the keeper well. For the next 20 mins
we continued to dominate the play having 2 good chances from Brad Monelle and 1 from Kyle Curtis cleared off the line. In defence both
James Boulton and James Hurrell
Smith were playing very well, stopping any serious threat on our goal. Finally,
in the 39th minute we got a deserved 2nd goal again from
Brad Monelle to go into half time 2- 0 up.
It
was important that we kept pushing forward as Shire were showing good signs
when attacking, although in goal Craig Francis was handling well. In the 50th
min, Brad Monelle won a deserved penalty which was
converted by Jordan Knight. As the game became more open, so our possession
increased. Craig Andrews was brought on and had an immediate impact as a great
through ball gave him a chance inside the penalty area which he volleyed in
with great composure. Shire did continue
to push forward and were rewarded with 2 goals through errors but we responded
with 2 late goals from Brad Monelle, to complete his
hat trick and Mo Bouaziz, who with Oli Randall worked very hard in Midfield, supported very
well by Danny McCarthy.
A
deserved 6 – 2 win which brought us back level on points at the top.
3
great performances for Man of the Match from James Boulton,
James Hurrell Smith and Brad Monelle
but it was awarded to Brad Monelle
for a great striking performance.
