Ravenshead set out to repeat last seasons
goalless draw but Sports battled on, tried different approaches and with two
opportunist goals, came away with all three points.
Sports had a big percentage of possession in
the first half without any success in front of goal. Ben Clarke, Kieran Duncan
and Joe Worrell at the back kept their keeper Kieran Sheppard well protected
throughout the game. Mark Shelton and Ben Oscroft in midfield were tirelessly
keeping their forwards armed with opportunities. One move though looked to have
broken the deadlock.
From a goal kick by Ravenshead, Sam Farn collets the ball and moves forward, he
finds Shelton with a neat pass, Shelton controls and finds Reegan Morris in
space, who side taps to Oscroft, Oscroft’s vision has been steadily improving
this season and he see’s an opening in the box. He lobs the ball to Curtis
Edwards, Edwards turns and shoots, and his effort just skims the bar. It remains
goal less at half time.
The introduction of Stephen Whitley on the
right gives Sports an extra avenue of attack, a series of throws on the right by
Whitley and Kieran Davis finds Worrell, he pushes the ball through the middle
for Oliver Davidson-Turner to chase, Turner is too speedy for the defenders on
both sides and as the keeper comes out he hits the ball over the keeper, the
ball seems to take ages as it hits the line and ends up in the back of the net.
Minutes later it’s 2-0. Ravenshead kick
off and
Shelton
wins the ball back, he waits and then gets the ball back to Worrell. Worrell
pumps the ball forward to Turner on the edge of the penalty area. Turner chests
the ball down, turns and again lobs the keeper to make it 2-0.
Three more valuable points for Sports,
Oscroft is awarded the “Man of the Match” award. His vision and distribution
gets better as the season moves on.
