COMBER YM 1 V 5 BRENTWOOD 2NDS

AS USUAL THE SECOND TEAM TOOK 45 MINUTES TO GET GOING AGAINST A VERY DETERMINED CYM TEAM ON SATURDAY . THEY WERE FIRST TO EVERY BALL AND CREATED A =LOT MORE CHANCES THAN BRENTWOOD IN THE FIRST HALF THANKFULLY THEY ONLY TOOK ONE OF THEM THANKS TO SOME BAD FINISHING. BRENTWOOD HAD CHANCES AS WELL BUT IT WAS JAMES DUNCAN WHO NETTED AFTER  A GOOD BUILD UP THE FINISH ITSELF WAS RATHER WEAK AND THE CYM KEEPER SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

TO SAY THE TEAM GOT A STERN TALKING TO AT HALF-TIME WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT  BUT THEY CERTAINLY ROSE TO THE CHALLENGE ESPECIALLY PHIL SIBLEY WHO WAS BROUGHT ON TO REPLACE DUNCAN TO TRY A PUT A BIT MORE STEEL INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK .STRAIGHT FROM THE OFF HE PUT HIMSELF ABOUT WHICH SEEMED TO GET THE REST OF THE TEAM GOING AS WELL ,

BRENTWOOD GOT THEMSELVES INTO THE LEAD AFTER A LONG THROW WAS MET BY CYM HEAD BUT HE COULDNT CLEAR PROPERLY AND MULLIGAN WAS LEFT UNMARKED TO VOLLEY HOME FROM 12 YARDS OUT. THIS REALLY LIFTED THE SPIRITS AND TEN MINS LATER AFTER CHRIS MAINE WAS PUT IN THE CLEAR THE REF AWARDED A PENALTY AFTER HE WAS CHOPPED DOWN JUST AS HE WAS ABOUT TO SHOOT RAB McLEAN HAD HIS PENALTY WELL SAVED BUT WAS FIRST TO REACT TO THE FOLLOW UP FOR 3-1. COMBER HEADS STARTED TO DROP AFTER THIS AND IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE BRENTWOOD WHO ADDED TO THEIR TALLY AND THEY DID JUST THAT WHEN JONNY CONNOR WHO WAS CAUSING COMBER ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS FOUND MAINE WHO POKED HOME FOR HIS 8TH GOAL OF THE SEASON IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES BEATTIE WAS PUT CLEAR AND DESPITE CALLS FOR OFFSIDE HE COOLY BEAT THE KEEPER FOR 5-1 ... MUCH BETTER IN THE SECOND HALF BUT WE CANT KEEP STARTING SO SLOWLY OR OUR LUCK WILL RUN OUT  ITS COMBER YM AGAIN NEXT WEEK AND THEY WILL BE LOOKING REVENGE SO ANOTHER BIG EFFORT NEEDED

TOP PERFORMERS WERE PHIL SIBLEY- JONNY CONNOR
