This was a top of the
table clash. (1st v 2nd). If Trinity were to win there would be
1 point separating both teams. If we won it would effectively
end the Trinity title dream! |
|
|
|
|
|
Statistics were not
in favour. In five previous meetings Trinity had Won 3 games
(one cup game on penalties) and drawn the other two. You could
say they were our Nemesis. |
|
|
|
|
|
We really wanted to
bounce back from our last outing against Fairfax and all the
boys wanted to do well. The expectation was to win every first
time ball and always fight and believe there was no lost cause.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We started the game
well, having plenty of possession. However we really did not
create any clear cut chances to score in the first half and both
teams were probably happy with a 0-0 score line at half time. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the second
half we started to dominate play and create more pressure in the
Trinty half, we had plenty of corners but were unable to put
them under too much pressure. About 15 minutes in, Jack took a
free-kick from some 30 yards out which the keeper spilled and
Shaun was in a brilliant position to follow up and give us the
lead. 1-0 to the Blues. |
|
|
|
|
|
More or less straight
after the restart we had a frightful moment when the centre
forward got in on our goal and Olly came out and smothered the
ball to keep us ahead. Trinity started to get more into the game
and a shear peace of brilliance got us further ahead. With
around 5 minutes left, Wayne had the ball just inside the Trinty
half, Shimmed one way then the other ghosted through about 4
players and into the Trinity box leaving all the defenders
trailing and stroked the ball under the despairing dive of the
keeper to make it 2-0! The crowd went wild. |
|
|
|
|
|
It was still
not over and with minutes to go Shaun seemed to copy Wayne with
a driving run through the middle evading the Trinity tackles and
from the edge of the box, calmly lifted a great shot over the
oncoming keeper to make it 3-0 to the Blues! |
|
|
|
|
|
The performance was
full passion and every player gave a great account of themselves
in a very important game. |
|
|
|
|
|
It was difficult to
single out any player for 'Player of the Match' however Charlie
seemed to be all other the pitch and although playing upfront
was seen on many occasion digging in and helping out with the
defending all round the pitch. |
|
|
|
|
|
WELL DONE TO ALL THE
PLAYERS, ITs GREAT TO GET ANOTHER 3 POINTS AND A CLEAN SHEET.
