Kent Premier League
18th December 2007
VCD Atheltic 1 Lordswood 0
The first half for both sides was of endeavour. Both sides played some good football but were guilty of the final ball being wasted as both
keepers had no saves of real to make. Lordswood were playing some good stuff and defensively looked sound and VCD were the same but just looked that little
bit better.
The second half started with Lordswood taking the game to VCD and in the 53rd minute was unlucky not to take the lead when Adrian’s cross
into the six yards area saw Dave Masters rise and his header came back of the bar. In a breakaway attack Mark Greatorex found the ball at his feet and from
18 yards saw his shot saved easily by Rowen, then disaster struck in the 60th minute when a ball into the area going nowhere saw Craig Beckwith handball it
and a penalty was given and upstepped Ashley Probets but his penalty went wide of the right hand post. After this Lordswood still dominated possession but
in the 71st minute free kick to the back post saw Gary Cook’s header saved by Rowen but two minutes later VCD took the lead when Lordswood lost possession
in their own half and the ball ended up at Richard Sinden’s feet and from 20 yards he shot home. Lordswood could have gone into a sulk after this but to
their good character they continued to try and get an equaliser.
In the 88th minute a corner into the area was half cleared to Adam Douglas whose shot was blocked by the keeper and came out to Lee Skinner
whose close range shot was deflected for a corner and in the dying moments Lordswood threw everything at VCD but to no avail as the final whistle went and
again another great display by the boys for no reward.
