Not Pretty But 3 Points

We were again on the road this week as we traveled to Lawford for our 4th away fixture on the bounce !.

We had to shuffle the pack with a few missing, but the strength of the squad got us through the game, it was not a classic but in truth we were not overly tested and pretty much dominated the game!, we were better in the First period and scored 2 Goals, the 1st through the returning Steve Oldhamstead (Pictured) who tapped home after a decent cut back from the left 1-0, that man Steve Oldhamstead then turned provider for Bruce Poole to add our 2nd, Steve reacted quickest to retrieve the ball after a good save from the keeper and put in a fine pinpoint cross which Bruce headed home 2-0 !, we go into the break 2 up without getting out of 2nd gear in truth.

The 2nd period was a pretty dull affair ! but we do add to our tally through Joe Martin, a low corner from Rob Thorne is missed by the Lawford front post markers and Joe is on hand to tap home 3-0 !, we then have Frank Parish sent off for Violet conduct !!, along with a Lawford player, both seemed to be more intent on the Rugby World cup, rolling around on the floor grappling at each-other!!, no punches are thrown, but the Ref deemed it violent play by both parties and issued 2 Red cards!, after that the game just dyed away, poor in truth, but another Clean Sheet and 3 points, Job Done.
