Mitcheldean S.C. 3 Abbeymead Rovers Hawks 2
Mid Glos Mini-Soccer League
Saturday 1st April 2006
Abbeymead's long unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of a Mitcheldean side who put in a top performance. After an even start Abbeymead took the lead when a Jamal Lawrence long shot flew into the top corner. However, Mitcheldean were dangerous on the break and George Hall in goal for Abbeymead, had to make three excellent saves from James Wilce.
Lawrence crossed for Joe Wilton who shot narrowly wide. Elliot Obee won the ball in midfield and hit a long shot which was well saved. Minutes later he fed Clayton Dee who turned and shot Abbeymead into a two-nil lead. Elliot Basford and Josh Cannon were being tested more than usual and Hall had to make more saves in this match than any other this season. Wilce put Mitcheldean back in the game when he rounded Hall and finished cooly. At the other end, Dee had a superb header from a corner saved on the line and minutes later he hit a long shot which was saved on the line by the same player with the keeper beaten on both occasions.
Within minutes of the re-start, Ben Langworthy latched onto a Wilton cross only for the keeper to make a fine save. The keeper excelled again and again turning shots from Dee over the bar. Abbeymead missed their midfield maestro, Brodie Goddard-Jones, and as they pushed forward in search of the third goal they lost their way - their passing stopped and they became more vulnerable at the back. Basford and Obee made many good tackles and Hall made more good saves. Dee hit a post and Wilton shot just wide at the other end and it looked as if that was how the game would finish. Then in the final five minutes, two major decisions went against Abbeymead and the impressive Wilce made them pay both times. Down but not out, Abbeymead went in search of the equaliser - Langworthy nearly got on the end of a Dee cross and Lawrence had an excellent shot saved. Both have second place Tredworth to play in what promises to be an exciting end to the season.
