Sat. 18th
Sept Under 16’s Hindsford Bandits 6, Monton 3
Back to
winning ways after last weeks defeat.
It took
Hindsford only 6 mins to take the lead when Matt Durkin, back after injury ,
put in Dale Glover to score from just inside the penalty area.
The Bandits
increased their lead 2 mins later, when Monton failed to clear a corner and
Adam Farnworth scored with a good shot from just outside the box to make it
2-0.
Hindsford
were passing the ball about really well and it came as no surprise when after
15 mins they scored again, and what a good goal it was.
Daniel
Banks cut in from the right wing , beat two defenders then curled in a superb
shot from outside the penalty area which gave the Monton keeper no chance.
A minute later brother Jonathon Banks almost made it four with a great long
range effort but this time the keeper tipped it over the bar.
Monton
tried to get into the game and had a couple of good shots but these were
confidently dealt with by Lance Heath in the Bandits goal.
If fact it
was Hindsford who nearly scored again when a good cross was headed against the
crossbar by Ryan Jones.
Half-time
Hindsford Bandits 3, Monton 0
The early
stages of the 2nd half were fairly quiet with the Bandits in control
and Monton trying their best to get back into the game but not creating any
real chances.
After 15
mins Dale Glover created a chance for Kris Smith who finished well from the
corner of the penalty area to make the score 4-0.
5 mins
later Daniel Banks got his 2nd and Hindsfords 5th with another
good shot, again curling in from just outside the area when he received a good
pass from Matt Langin.
It looked
like Monton were down and out but not so, they managed to beat the Bandits
offside trap and pull a goal back with 15 mins of the game left.
Hindsford
responded in the best way when a long goal kick was headed down by Dave Gunning
for Adam Murphy to score with another great finish to make it 6-1 to the
Bandits.
With
the game nearly won Hindsford relaxed a bit, in fact a bit too much and allowed
Monton to grab a couple of late goals and the game ended 6-3 to the Bandits.
Generally a
good performance from Hindsford with other good performances from Steve Eccles
and Adam Farnworth in defence and Daniel Banks and Dale Glover in attack with
Matt Langin prompting well from midfield.
