GARRICK TREBLE LEADS TO A DOUBLE
New signing Tom Garrick kicked off in style in this. his first game since his signing from Lincoln Moorlands Railway. His third, a last minute winner saw us take all three points.
It looked like we were bang in form as bright start led to several attacks and it took just eight minutes for the Whites to take the lead. A neat ball foward saw Craig Leverett flick on and George Zuerner's neat pass found Tom Garrick who calmly lobbed the advancing Sean Bowles.
Coalville began to get good posession of the ball but rarely threatened to breach the Whites' back line. However they were gifted an equaliser when Sean Wright tried to clear with his right foot when he would have been better going with his left and he helped the ball into the bottom corner.
That goal came in the 19th minute and United reacted well. Coalville were playing some bright football but only managed two shots on target in the first period. Shortly after United lost their skipper, Brendan McDaid through injury being replaced by Manager, Terry Fleming. He joined Scott Coupland and Jack McGovern in midfield.
United got a gift of their own when Bowles missed his kick allowing Garrick the simplest of tap-ins in the 34th minute.
This seemed to unsettle Coalville and United should perhaps have increased their lead before the interval. First Garrick saw a shot blocked and indecision saw Zuerner miss an opening.
The second peiod saw Coalville playing with much more purpose. Callum Woodward, the lively Matthew Moore and Lewis Dodd were starting to make inroads. The introduction of Chris Gumery for Julian Joachim also added impetus to the visitors.
Two good saves from debutant keeper, 17 year old Michael Cooke in United's goal backed up by good defending from David Coyde, Stuart Reddington, Sean Wright and Kallum Smith.
Despite Coalville's good play United still fasioned chances. Garrick shot over, Coupland lost control when well placed asnd Leverett also shot over.Garrick hit a post from a narrow angle.
There was no denying Coalville deserved an equaliser but when it came it was clearly offside. United wasted at least two opportunities to clear and when a third consecutive cross came into the box UNited were pushed out including keepr, Moore . Town's skipper, Dan Parker scored at the far post with the linesman failing to realise that our keeper was ahead of the player.
It should have been Coalville's to win then but United still offered a threat on the break. Coalville had taken chances at the back all afternoon and it proved to be their downfall. A needles square ball was latched onto by Garrick and he calmly sidestepped his marker and curled the ball into the far corner to end waht had been a very entertaining game of football in which Coalville must be kicking themselves whilst United clearly pleased with three points, three goals for Garrick and the number of chances they created.
Squad: Michael Cooke, David Coyde, Kallum Smith, Brendan McDaid, Stuart Reddington, Sean Wright, Jack McGovern, George Zuerner, Craig Leverett, Tom Garrick, Scott Coupland, SUBS Pradeep Bahrey(replaced Zuerner 83), Jack Davies, Terry Fleming(replaced McDaid 27), Peter McDaid, Jordan Hempenstall.
