Our second encounter with Vernon currently with 8 losses and 2 wins are looking to get something out of this game after also bowing out of the shield last week to WB Lions.
Elliot gets the game under way with a nice ball to Luke who lets fly but the shot is deflected for a corner, Vernon deal with it and push the ball back up field. 4 minutes played and Luke earns us a corner which Dane takes the ball headed out finds Raynor who’s overhead kick is over the bar for goal kick. A series of corners one in the 11th and the 16th noteworthy as shots come in from Luke and Hakeem but both miss the target. It’s not all Calverton and with 10 left in the half Vernon break and force a fine save from Ryan then a few minutes later they get another shot on target, this one a little easier for Ryan to collect. Eventually Calverton get the goal they have been looking for when Preston shoots and scores side footed to the keepers left. Elliot wins the ball back at the re start and gives Hakeem a goal scoring opportunity his shot is fumbled by the keeper and out for a corner. Vernon deal with that and the ref blows for half time. 1-0.
Luke is changed out for David and the first 5 minutes of the half pass without any real incident. Then 35 minutes played Wilko plays a great ball up to David who slots it neatly into the corner of Vernon’s net 2-0. Two minutes later and a second sub puts Joe into midfield replacing Elliot. David has lit up Calverton’s attacks and gets through again on the 40th minute but this time the defender does well and puts it out for the corner. Nothing comes from the set piece then David, again involved, flicks on a great ball for Hakeem but his shot is saved and another corner to Calverton in the 44th minute. The stoppage allows another change With Ben replacing Hakeem, and Vernon get the corner away. 2 minutes later and Vernon close the score to 2-1 when they break up the right going round Raynor into the area and round Ryan who comes out narrow the angles, a neat finish to good build up play. It gets scrappy for a while then Vernon break again with 6 minutes left and Ryan bravely denies a shot from Jahmar diving at his feet, Ryan takes a knock and has to retire with Brendan replacing him. Preston also leaves the field fr Hakeem to return at the front. Then Callum spots Ben in a fantastic position who takes his pass and one on one with the keeper he keeps his cool and calmly puts it away 3-1 Calvo. Into the final minute and Calverton confirm the win when Brad is brought down a good way into Vernon territory. Dane steps up take and thumps it high into the top corner to end the game 4-1.
Well done Calverton and thanks Vernon.
