as town defeated to last minute goal
The return of the Bostik League saw a tight fought game decided in favour to potters bar fc by the latest of winners to snatch a well earned victory.with debuts for moore ,corlett and owusu Witham Town chose a direct approach to test the visitor’s defense early on,but Very few goalmouth activities occurred in a first half that saw contrasting styles cancelling each other out with neither goalkeeper really tested.
Half time arrived with the scores level.
The second half opened brightly with several end to end moves but it was the home side who took the lead in the 49th minute. As the ball dropped to Billy Adcock just outside our penalty area there looked little danger but an apparent foul went unpunished and as the ball got played forward into the scholar’s penalty area the defensive pairing of Steve Browne and Will Wambeek for once hesitated and USMAN ADENIJI slotted home for the home team.This woke the visitors up and a series of attacks saw more opportunities created, and the equaliser arrived in the 62nd minute, Another set piece from Billy Lobjoit this time a free kick from the right was intelligently dropped short towards the near post and EION CASEY’s run saw him meet the ball on the half-volley and rifled it powerfully into the roof of the Witham net.
witham will feel they might have done better when a quick counter found the centre forward on the edge of the penalty area but his shot flew over the crossbar not testing scholar’s keeper Berkley Laurencin.
As the game entered the fourth minute of injury time the visitors gained a throw in on the right near the corner flag. Will Wambeek’s long(ish) throw was flicked on by Sean Grace and as the ball fell to Femi Osungola he was fouled in the penalty area, but still managed to lay the ball back to George Nicholas who’s goal bound effort deflected the opposite way off SEAN GRACE and into the back of an empty visitors net for a dramatic winner.
