Mostonians v Old Boltonians   2 - 3

Bling is Back!

AFTER A DISSAPOINTING WEEK LAST WEEK MANAGERS SIMON SHIELDS AND BAZ CULF STARTED THE GAME WITH THREE CHANGES TO THE TEAM. CLUB CAPTAIN DAVID OWEN WAS PUT BACK IN MIDFIELD ALONG SIDE OF JAMES KINSLEY AND STARTING HIS FIRST GAME FOR THE SEASON UP FRONT WITH TAYLOR WAS RYAN HARDWIDGE.

OLD BOLTS STARTED THE GAME AS IF THEY WERE GOING TO DESTROY MOSTONIANS AND FOR THE FIRST 15MINS WE DOMINATED PLAY. THEN OUT OF THE BLUE MOSTONIANS GOT A CORNER THAT THEIR STRIKER SLOTTED PAST DUFFY. MOSTONIANS HAD STUNNED US, WAS IT GOING TO BE A REPEAT OF LAST WEEKS PERFORMANCE? WE KICKED OFF AND IT WAS STALEMATE FOR THE NEXT 10MINS UNTIL DARWEN WENT ON A BLISTERING RUN TAKING ON 3 PLAYERS AND SMASHING HOME OUR FIRST GOAL 1-1.

OLD BOLTS NOW HAD THE GAME BY THE "TOWN HALLS" BUT YET AGAIN A MISTAKE BY VET ROWAN CROOK SAW THE STRIKER FOR MOSTONIANS PEEL OFF AND GET A CROSS IN THAT WAS MET BY THE OTHER CENTRE FORWARD WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER AND FIRED THE 2ND HOME UNDER THE BODY OF DUFFY.

NO SOONER HAD WE KICKED OF THAN A GREAT COMBINATION OF PASSES FROM JOHN BURROWS TO DARWEN THROUGH TO RICK MCLLENAN WHO HAD A 1-2 WITH ROB TAYLOR WHO PLAYED A DREAM PASS ONTO NICK LUKE WHO INTURN BLASTED THE BALL INTO THE TOP CORNER OF THE GOAL. 2-2

AT HALF TIME A CHANGE WAS MADE WHICH SAW BAD BOY KERIAN WALSH RELEASED ONTO THE PITCH AND FOR THE NEXT 30MINUTES THE GAME COULD HAVE GONE ANY WAY.

WITH DARWEN SHOOTING FROM RANGE IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WATCH IT IS JUST A PITY IT WAS THE LEFT PEG HE WAS USING.

ANOTHER CHANGE CAME IN DARREN DALTON BACK UP FRONT WITH BLING AND CHRIS HULTON RIGHT BACK AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE THE HITMAN BLING SLOTTED THE 3RD GOAL AND WINNER HOME.

A GREAT GAME WITH A PAT ON THE BACK TO ALL PLAYERS..
