GREYFRIARS ATHLETIC 1 CHIPPING SODBURY 4 THIS PERFORMANCE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST TWO. IT WAS PLAYED IN ATROCIOUS CONDITIONS ON A SLOPING AND UNKEPT PITCH. SO THE LADS WERE ASKED FOR EFFORT RATHER THAN THE USUAL SKILL AND IT PAYED OFF HANDSOMLY. TWO MORE GOALS FOR HARRISON, NOW 7 IN 5 MATCHES, A 3RD OF THE SEASON FOR GRANGER AND AN OPENING GOAL FOR HOWELL. A SUPERB PERFORMANCE FROM HUNT, WHO SET UP ANOTHER GOAL WITH SOME FINE FOOT WORK AND ANOTHER FINE PERFORMANCE FROM BRUSCHINI WITH A FINE SAVE AND A PENALTY SAVE, ONLY TO SEE THE REBOUND PUT AWAY. BOWDEN HAD TO COME OFF AFTER 30 MINUTES, BUT HAD COME CLOSE WITH A GOOD EFFORT, PUSHED OUT BY THE KEEPER, FOR HARRISON TO SNIFF OUT THE CHANCE. FOX REPLACED BOWDEN AND PLAYED WITH HIS USUAL SUPPLY OF FLICKS AND WAS INVOLVED WITH STALLARD AND HUNT INTERPASSING IN THE FINELY MADE GOAL FOR GRANGER. IN THE LAST 315 MINUTES OUR "FULL" DEFENCE HAS BEEN BEATEN JUST ONCE. A SUPERB PERFORMANCE. THE ARRIVAL OF BENNETT, HIS COVERING, HAS RELEASED CAMERON TO FULFILL HIS SWEEPER DUTIES AND THE FULL BACKS ARE AT LAST GETTING SOME CREDIT FOR THEIR FINE PLAY. HOWELL, WHO HAS HIT THE WOODWORK TWICE THIS SEASON AND SET UP SEVERAL GOALS, GOT HIS REWARD WITH A GOAL, WITH A FINE EFFORT. THIS SIDE IS NOW FINELY BALANCED FOR AN ATTACK ON PROMOTION AND WE WISH THEM ALL THE BEST. Report By Bert Weedon. |
