BRNESC MADE A HORRENDOUS START AT SCARGREEN PARK AND WERE 2 GOALS DOWN IN 10 MINS AND .3 DOWN IN 30 BEFORE THEY STARTED TO PLAY.
BRNESC WENT A GOAL DOWN WITHIN 5 MINS AT LEYFIELD WHEN A PROMISIN MOVE BROKE DOWN ANS A HOOF DOWN THE MIDDLE WAS MISSED BY TONY MAC IN THE DAZZLING SUN AND THE LEYFIELD FORWARD RACED ONTO THE BALL AND PLACED IT WIDE OF MATTY NAGLE 1 0 LEYFIELD
WORSE WAS TO FOLLOW AFTER FAILING TO CLEAR THEIR LINES TWICE THE BALKL WAS CHIPPED OVER THE DEFENSE INTO THE BOX FOR A SHOT ONTO THE CORNER 2 0 AFTER 10 MINS
BRNESC WERE A SHAMBLES SECOND TO EVERY BALL ,WHEN THEY DID GET IT THEY GAVE IT BACK TO THEIR OPPONENTS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY,IT WAS ALL ONE WAY TRAFFIC AT TIMES IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD MORE MEN ON THE PITCH SUCH WAS THEIR CONTROL.
MATTY THEN SAVED WITH HIS FEET AS LEYFIELD CUT THROUG BRNESC ONCE AGAIN BRNESC FINALLY PUY A MOVE TOGETHER CHRIS FAGAN TO RITCHIE TO JOE PARLE WHO SHOT WIDE
ON THE HALF HOUR LEFIELD MADE IT 3 0 WITH A NEAR POST HEADER FROM A CROSS FROM TE RIGHT ,FARB TO EASY FOR LEYFIELD AS BRNESC LOOKED DISPIRITED AND BEATEN ALREADY.
BRNESC STARTED TO PLAY AFTER THE TRAUMATIS 30 MIN THEY HAD ENDURED,SELF INFLICTED MOSTLY SLOPPY PLAY ALL ROUND,AND IN THE 35 MIN RITCHIE VOLLEYED NARROWLY OVER THR BAR FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX.
AS THE HALF TIME WHISLE WAS NIGH BRNESC GAVE THEM SELVES A LIFE LINE WHITS TRADEMARK BURST INTO THE BOX HALTED BY A CLUMSY CHALLENGE PENALTY!!
JOE PARLE CONVERTED WITH HIS USUAL CALM APLOMB 3 1 LEYFIELD HALF TIME
BRNESC STORMED OUT OF THE TRAPS AT THE START OF THE SECOND HALF AND WITHIN A MINUTE JOE PARLE FLICKED ONTO FINN WHO WAS NARROWLY WIDE WITH HIS EFFORT
LEYFIELD WENT THE OTHER END AND DROVE A SHOT OVER THE BAR
FINN THEN BROKE THROUGH AND WAS BROUGHT DOWN IN THE BOX IT LOOKED A PEN BUT THE REF WAVED PLAY ON
IT WAS ALL BRNESC AS THEY REDISCOVERED THEIR CONFIDENCE AND THEY WERE TAKING THE GAME TO A INCREASINGLY JITTERY LEYFIELD OUTFIT
FINN COULDNT GET HIS SHOT AWAY INSIDE THE BOX AND THE LEYFIELD DEFENCE CLEARED THE BALL
FINN ,IN THR 55 MIN,THEN FKICKED THE BALL THROUGH TO JOE PARLE WHOSE SHOT WAS BLOCKED 8 YDS OUT
BRNESC THEN REDUCED THE DEFECIT FURTHER WHEN FINN SCORED WITH A BULLET HEADER FROM CHRIS FAGANS FINE CORNER KICK 3 2
LEYFIELD WERRENT FINISHED AND TONY MC HAD TO MAKE A FINE BLOCK IN THE BOX AND THEN CHRIS BELL CLEAEDE AT THE BACK POST TO PREVENT A GOAL.LEYFIELD THEN SHOT WIDE AS THE PLAY WENT FROM BOX TO BOX
FINN WAS INCHES AWAY FROM MAKING IT 3 3 WITH A FLICKED HEADER JUST OVER THE BAR WITH THE KEEPER STRANDED
LEYFIELD THEN HIT THE BAR FROM A FREE KICK WITH MATTY HELPLESS
BRNESC MADE ONE LAST ATTACK IN THE 90 MIN WITH THE BALL MOVING BETWEEN DANNY ,CHRIS FAGAN AND RITCHIE WHO CROSSED TO FINN WHOSE SHOT WAS PARRIED FOR A CORNER FROM WHICH THE KEEPER SAVED FROM FINNS HEADER 3 2 TO LEYFIELD FINAL WHISTLE
IF YOU TAKE THE FIRST 30 MINS OUT OF THE EQUATION BRNESC WERE THE BETTER SIDE FOR THE REST OF THE GAME BUT MATCHES ARE 90 MINS LONG AND YOU CANNOT GIVE HALF DECENT TEAMS A 3 GOAL START START AND HOPE TO BEAT THEM, MOM WAS REALLY ONLY MOM FOR THE LAST 60 MINS NOBODY PERFORMED IN THE FIRST 30 JOE PARLE WAS THE PICK OF A MUCH IMPROVED LAST HOUR BY ALL AND JUST SHADES IT IN FRONT OF CHRIS BELL,WHIT AND FINN.
