This week we played Trinity, a classic top v bottom situation. After last weeks result we knew we had a chance, it was whether we could follow it up. Again Spanton played in goal, due to Dave feeling under the weather, with Fung out on field.
The match started as a fairly even contest with both teams sharing an even amount of possession. We didn’t create too many chances but started to look more menacing as the half continued. We managed to get our reward late in this half when we won a penalty after their defender cleared in the area. It was expertly taken (twice) by Andy to put us 1 – 0 up.
The 2nd half started well with Trinity putting us under more pressure, but not creating an overwhelming number of chances. When they did it was clear cut and we have Spanton to thank for 4 magnificent saves. We continued to play assertively and scored a 2nd after I squared the ball on a counter attack and James slide in to convert for his first goal at Eastwood (however it was a bit dubious whether it was his or not). At this point they were complaining about being hard done by at every decision including a blatant obstruction on me whilst I was running back. In the end one of there players was sin binned for constantly complaining and gave us a fairly easy end to the game.
Overall a cracking result and showed we can win in this division. Although it will be tough to get out of the relegation zone, we have given our self a shout with 4 points in the last 6. |
