AFC
Lea Holloway 3 Kings Arms 4
Holloway
scorers:- Shaun Bott (2), Harding
Kings:-
Holloway found themselves
2-0 down within the first 20 minutes and took a while to get going. Holloway
pulled a goal back when Shaun Bott slotted home from a Gary Siddall pass
to make the half time score 2-1.
Holloway
didn't give up in the second half and pulled it back to 2-2 with 20 minutes
still to play, Bott again getting on the scoresheet. Emberton then headed
wide and Karl Whitford hit the bar before Kings caught Holloway on the break
twice in succession to make it 4-2.
Debutant
Ben Harding pulled one back for Holloway with a smart finish from the edge
of the box, but the score remained 4-3 until the final whistle. Both teams
harshly finished with ten men after an exchange between Siddall and Kings'
number 10.
Kings
awarded Man of the Match to Bott.
Brooks
& Hegarty secure Shriland victory
Shirland
Miners Welfare 2 Tibshelf Community 0
Shirland
scorers:- Antony Brooks,Dale Hegarty
Kings:-
Shirland found themselves
up against a very strong and a very different Tibshelf Community side from
last year, right from kick off they were very strong,very well organised
and determined to cause an upset.
The
first half passed very quickly with both teams playing very good football,
the second half though saw Shirland take complete control of the game.
The
first goal came from Anthony Brooks with a darting run down the right wing
to fire home a very sweet goal. Shirland second goal came from new signing
Dale Hegarty whose power and strength tore through Tibshelf's defence before
slotting home with a fantastic strike.
Shirland
did have three more good chances on goal only to be denied by Tibshelf's
goalkeeper who won our man of the match for his fantastic displays.
The
home side's back four had to work very hard to keep Tibshelf at bay with
great displays from G. Bacon, P. Hardy, M. MurpheyÊand R. Hill. Tibshelf's
two shots on goal were saved well by goalkeeper D. Shaw.
Man
of the match from Tibshelf went to Shirland player Steven Boot.
Armshaw
double earns Harveys win
Harveys
2 Laburnum Saints 1
Shirland
scorers:- Armshaw (2)
Laburnum scorers:- Clifton
The big-kick off got
off to a cagey start with bothÊside's not wanting to commit men forward.
But Laburnum were first to take advantage with a good first 20 minute display
and go 0-1 through a well-crafted goal from Andy Clifton.
After
the goal Harveys seem to come alive, some good movement down the left were
causing problems before Jamie Barwick found Dave Armshaw with a super cross
to make it 1-1 before the break.
Harveys
seemed revitalised after the break and came out strong only to find answer
from Laburnum's back five. With the game heading for a draw up stepped David
Goodall whose shot from 25 yards was too much for the Laburnum goalkeeper
and the ball dropped nice once again for on form striker Armshaw to finish
his second.
Harveys
came under some pressure towards the end but a brilliant save from Jay Roose
in goal won the game.
