West Bridgford Lions 3 - 1 Calverton MW Colts
Darrell Hargreaves
Calverton’s first visit to West Bridgford Lions new ground at Holme Pierpoint ended with their first league defeat of the season. A dismal first half performance from the boys ended 2-1 to the Lions. Dominic opened the Lions score after 10 minutes lobbing the keeper after a defensive mix-up. Ten minutes late it was 2-0, again poor defending allowing Dominic to slot the ball past the keeper. Against the run of play good work from Elliot and Darrell resulted in DJ scoring from just inside the box. Five minutes later Preston brilliantly lobbed the Lions keeper from outside the box only for the ball to fall just over the bar. HT 2-1 Lions.
The first 20 minutes of the second half saw Calverton gain a little more composure and a lot better performance from the boys. A mixture of some poor finishing and some great goal keeping kept the score at 2-1. But five from the end and Dominic completed his hat trick, after more chaos in the Calverton defense, firing low into the bottom corner from just inside the area. Final score 3-1 Lions. Thanks Bridgford for a good game.
Hopes For The Treble Dashed Posted by Steve on Saturday, 2nd February, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Calvertons first loss of the season put an end to their Notts FA Shield hopes after losing in the quarter final stage 1-3 to Drezden Colts today. Well played Drezden and best of luck in the semi final and of course with the remainder of your season. You can read all about the game in the match reports section which I will have completed later this week.
There are of course league games tomorrow for the rest of the Div 1 teams and I will post those results up when I get them.
