This was the last game of the season and determined whether we would finish bottom or higher. The pre match preparations were thrown into disarray, when both Dave and Tom pulled out on match day. Graham came in to make up a 6 man squad for his debut.
The match started tightly with Spanton our stand in keeper making some cracking saves in the first half. The defence was strong and we went in at half time still nil – nil.
The 2nd half started badly as we quickly conceded a goal, but we soon pulled one back after a strike from Andy. The 2nd half was more open than the 1st, with 4 more goals shared equally up until the last 5 minutes. Graham scored both of these and showed some good touches. At this point the match could have gone either way, but a lucky deflection of James C’s shin beat Spanton for their victory and promotion.
Overall this summed up our season and eventually meant we finish bottom as 5-Alive drew. Tonight Spanton played really well in goal and deserves credit for some of the saves he made. Onto a new season and new hopes and dreams. |
