CHIPPING SODBURY 1 AVON ST.PHILLIPS RESERVES 2 YET ANOTHER INJURY TO ADD TO OUR CRISIS BUT A FINE DEBUT FROM MARTIN TRUEMAN IN THE CENTRE OF DEFENCE WITH MARTIN BENNETT DROPPING BACK TO SWEEPER. THE EARLY STRIKE AGAINST US, RESULTED IN YET ANOTHER INJURY. PAUL HUNT HAD A FINE GAME IN MIDFIELD AND EARNED HIS JUST REWARD WITH ONE OF THE BEST VOLLEYS OF THE SEASON. WITH A NUMBER OF CHANGES DUE TO INJURIES THE PERFORMANCE WAS BETTER THAN EXPECTED, IT ALSO GAVE THE CLUB A CHANCE TO ASSESS OTHERS CAPABILITIES. THE DEFENCE SHOWING UP WELL WITH THE FLOURISH ST.PHILLIPS THREW AT US. HAD LUCK BEEN WITH US. THE SHOT THAT WON THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN CLEARED OFF THE LINE BUT MARTIN BENNETT JUST COULDN'T GET HIS FOOT BEHIND THE BALL. ALTHOUGH TWO VALUABLE POINTS WERE DROPPED OUR MIDFIELD KEPT US IN THE GAME AND THE FUTURE LOOKS ROSEY, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE REGULARS FROM LAST SEASON ARE NOW MISSING. JOHN HACKETT IN GOAL DIDNOT HAVE ALOT TO DO BUT WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO TAKE ALL THE HIGH BALLS WITH EASE AND PULL OFF A FINE SAVE LATE IN THE GAME. Report By Bert Weedon. |
