Match report | Fulford open their league season against Easingwold, who have proved to be very tough opponents over the past two seasons and this match was no different. Fulford quickly got into their stride and dominated possession and played a lot of the first 30 minutes in the Easingwold half. Easingwold, as always, were very dangerous on the counter attack. Fulford didn't make their dominance count, as numerous crosses flashed across the box, or shots were saved by the well-positioned Easingwold keeper. Easingwold started the second half more strongly and the game looked a much more even contest. With 15 minutes to go the most likely scoreline looked to be 0-0, as per the same game last season, but then came the key moment in the match. Easingwold built up a good move down the right and sent over a cross. Tom H was very quick off his line and bravely dived at the feet of the Easingwold striker to block the shot. It was a superb save considering Tom had had little else to do previously. Harrison was on hand to clear the rebound and Fulford played a succesion of passes through midfield to Isaac, whose 25 yard shot was parried by the keeper and Will T was quickest to the rebound to score. Fulford finished the game really strongly and nearly added to their lead when Joe I's dribble and left foot shot was denied by a fine diving save by the keeper and Ross' left foot strike was blocked by a great last-ditch tackle by an Easingwold Defender. With 5 minutes remaining Fulford added to their lead thanks to a great right foot shot from Isaac which capped another excellent man of the match performance. Other good performances of note were from James & Will M down the left wing. It was a good opening match of the season, played in an excellent spirit for which both teams were commended for by the referee. |
