CHIPPING SODBURY 2 PARNALLS 2 NICK EASTWOOD'S DEBUT WAS GREETED WITH A SUDDEN TERRIFIC DOWNPOUR, THAT VERY NEARLY CALLED THE GAME OFF. THE CONDITIONS WERE TERRIBLE AND THE RAIN NEVER STOPPED AND ITS A PITY OUR WINNING RUN CAME TO AN END UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS. PARNALLS CERTAINLY DESERVED THE POINT AND SHOCKED US, BY TAKING THE LEAD TWICE. PARNALLS TOOK THE LEAD AND WE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE GAME UNTIL THE CLIVE STALLARD EQUALISER. CLIVE HAD SAID BEFORE THE GAME "A GOAL WOULD COME HIS WAY" AND IT COULDN'T HAVE COME AT A BETTER TIME, 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE HALF TIME WHISTLE. NICK EASTWOOD HAD AN IMPRESSIVE DEBUT AND HIS PLAY CERTAINLY CAUSED PROBLEMS FOR THIER DEFENDERS BUT THE CONDITIONS WERE AGAINST GOOD CONSTRUCTIVE FOOTBALL. PARNALLS REGAINED THE LEAD HALF WAY THROUGH THE 2ND HALF AND DEFEAT LOOKED TO BE STARING US IN THE FACE BUT PAUL HUNT NETTED HIS FIRST OF THE SEASON AND THE EQUALISER AFTER 75 MINUTES. PERHAPS WHEN WE MEET IN THE CUP, BETTER CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO A BETTER GAME. Report By Bert Weedon. |
