| Match report | Match Report v Dringhouses (h) Cup 19/04/15 Our biggest game of the season to date versus Dringhouses in the cup at home was set up in fine fashion, a midweek close call draw could not split the sides going into this game. Selecting the starting 9 was very difficult indeed but after looking at several permutations Andy K and Pete started with the 9 they believed were right for this particular match. Jake, Simeon, Dougie and Ellis held the back four with Jack, Ethan, Louis and Andy in the midfield with Ollie starting up front alone. Packing the midfield seemed wise especially after the midweek draw. The game was very even with end to end traffic being played continuing where the game left off midweek but Dringhouses looked a little more hungrier and won the first ball on the majority of the occasions. The Lions defence was very strong though and Dringhouses could not find a way through. The lions had a few first half shots but Dringhouses had a very resolute defence. Dringhouses scored the all important first goal, their striker lobbed an on rushing Jake who couldn’t stop the ball bouncing into an empty net. The half time score was 1-0 to Dringhouses and Andy K commented on the fact at half time that the Lions needed to pressurise Dringhouses more into making mistakes as Dringhouses did to the Lions with great effect. The Lions formation also changed at half time to 3-3-2 to attempt to pull level. Damian and Jordan plugged away but the Lions could not find a way through. On the occasions that Jordan broke the Dringhouses defence saw a Dringhouses defender made a last ditch tackle to deny him a shot at goal. With ten minutes left the Lions again changed formation to 2-3-3 to try force an equaliser but the goal eluded Fulford. The formation change was always going to open up our back line and the fear happened. Dringhouses scored the second goal five minutes from time before Fulford could force an equaliser. The full time score was 2-0 to Dringhouses and on reflection Dringhouses seemed slightly hungrier and took their chances well. The Lions are now in the plate final versus Rawcliffe and take delight that they are still in the hunt for silverware this season. The PotM after a player/opposing coach vote went to Simeon who edged the award slightly ahead of Dougie and Louis. Well done to all and slightly unlucky today but heads must be held high and get ready for our last three games of the season v Tadcaster (away), York Cubs (home) and Rawcliffe in the plate final. HT 1-0 FT 2-0 Scorer – NA PotM – Simeon Capt - Simeon |
