CHIPPING SODBURY 4 PUCKLECHURCH RESERVES 0 A SUPERB RESULT AFTER LAST WEEKS MATCH AGAINST THE LEADERS. MANY TIMES, SODBURY HAVE BEATEN TOP SIDES AND FOLLOWED IT WITH A SHOCK RESULT AGAINST ONE OF THE BOTTOM SIDES. THATS THE REASON WHY THIS GAME WAS SO IMPORTANT. A DAZZLING RUN BY HUNT AFTER JUST FIVE MINUTES, RIDING TWO TACKLES, SLIPPING ANOTHER AND THEN BREAKING INTO THE AREA, FOR HARRISON TO SCORE HIS 5TH IN 4 GAMES. AFTER 25 MINUTES WE HAD A FREE KICK AND DEAD BALL SPECIALIST GRANGER BENT HIS SHOT ROUND THE WALL AND PASSED THE KEEPER. SODBURY WERE NOW DOMINATING THE GAME AND EVERYONE WAS GIVING 100%. THE DEFENCE, SO OFTEN CRITISIZED IN THE PAST, WERE OUTSTANDING. AFTER 55 MINUTES, HEYS ADVANCED ONTO FOREIGN SOIL AND WITH THE KEEPER OFF HIS LINE. CALMLY LOBBED HIM AND WE WERE 3 UP, THE FIRST DEFENDER TO SCORE FOR A YEAR. THE 4TH GOAL CAME SOON AFTER FROM GRANGER, WHO DECIDED TO "POP ONE IN" FROM 25 YRDS, REBOUND IT OFF THE KEEPERS LEGS AND TRICKLE OVER THE LINE.....REALLY THE KEEPER LET THE BALL SLIP THROUGH HIS LEGS.....BUT MY DISCRIPTION SOUNDS BETTER. ONE GREAT SAVE IN THE MATCH CAME FROM BRUSCHINI. WITH THE GAME AT 1 NIL. HIS REFLEXES WERE CALLED UPON AFTER THEIR STRIKER BEAT OUR DEFENCE, THE ONLY TIME DURING THE GAME AND STRUCK THE BALL HARD TO THE KEEPERS LEFT, WHICH RICKY TIPPED WIDE. Report By Bert Weedon. |
