BRENTWOOD II  3 V 1 CASTLEREAGH COLTS II

THE SECONDS ALSO COLLECTED ANOTHER 3 POINTS WITH A HARD FOUGHT WIN AGAINST THE COLTS ON SATURDAY A VERY SLUGGISH FIRST HALF SAW  THE COLTS LOOK STRONGER AS THEY WERE FIRST TO EVERY BALL AND LOOKED HUNGRIER ALL ROUND AND IT WAS NO SUPRISE WHEN THEY TOOK THE LEAD ALTHOUGH THEY HAD A HELPING HAND FROM THE HOME KEEPER WHO CAME FOR THE CORNER ONLY TO PUSH THE BALL INTO HIS OWN NET BRENTWOOD GOT BACK INTO THE GAME TEN MINS LATER WHEN THE REFEREE AWARDED A PENALTY WHICH SEEMED A VERY HARSH DECISION BUT BEATTIE SCORED AND MORE JOY WAS TO COME FROM A GREAT TEAM MOVE THAT WAS FINISHED BY McELDREW AFTER HE WAS PLAYED IN BY BEATTIE , SO BRENTWOOD WENT IN AT HALF TIME 2-1 UP BUT BARELY DESERVED AND THEY RECIEVED SOME STERN WORDS FROM THE GAFFER

THE SECOND HALF WAS BETTER BUT NOT GREAT THOUGH IT WAS BRENTWOOD WHO WERE GUILTY OF MISSING SEVERAL GREAT CHANCES ALONG WITH SOME BAD LUCK FOR CHRIS MAINE WHO SRUCK THE BAR 25 YARDS OUT . THE DEFENCE WAS ALOT FIRMER IN THE SECOND HALF BUT STILL FELL ASLEEP AT TIMES PRESENTING THE COLTS WITH 1 OR 2 OPPOTUNITIES TO SCORE HOWEVER BEATTIE KILLED THE GAME OFF HEADING HOME FROM A McMURRAY CORNER THE RETURN GAME IS NEXT WEEK AND CASTLEREAGH WILL BE LOOKING FOR REVENGE SO A BETTER DISPLAY IS NEEDED TO KEEP UP THE TITLE PUSH
