Ellistown FC v Friar Lane & Epworth

Hands up, best team won as Ellistown were not at the races.

This game proved that the Senior League is a tight league with no easy games.

Form going into this game pointed towards an Ellistown win but Friar Lane had other ideas.

Lane controlled the game from kick-off to final whistle and credit to Town weaken by suspension of Zak Adams they never gave up but could not get into the game.

Friar Lane took the lead when old boy James Hogan bullet header from a corner gave Warwick Miller no chance. Credit to James as he never celebrated the goal.

EFC 0-1 FLE 13 mins

Lane doubled the lead on 30 mins when clean through on goal Louis Finney Neckles lobbed Warwick Miller.

EFC 0-2 FLE 30 mins

You knew with the 2nd goal it was going to be a long afternoon for Town and we done well to hold lane to a 2 goal lead at half-time.

EFC 0-2 FLE HT

Any hope of a comeback were wiped out on 55 mins when Warwick Miller was robbed of the ball and Keaton Towers had the simple task of rolling the ball into an empty next.

EFC 0-3 FLE 55 mins

Friar Lane scored the 4th on 65 minutes when Louis Finney Neckles went through our defence to finish with a crisp shot.

EFC 0-4 FLE 65 mins

Friar Lane then took their foot off the peddle and let Town back in the game but we were unable to create any clear cut chances.

Positives for town in the last 25 minutes was a welcome return to the pitch for Tom Antill and a 5 minute debut to our Italian Goalkeeper Samuel Boschi.

EFC 0-4 FLE FT
