IT WAS A SCRAPPY START BY BOTH TEAMS ON A POOR PITCH ,CRAMPED ,BUMPY ,GRASS TO LONG AND FAINT MARKINGS TOTALLY AT ODDS WITH THE REVAMPED FACILITIES,
THE FURST ACTION OF ANY NOTE WAS A SAVE BY MATTY WHICH WAS FROM A OFFSIDE POSITION
BRNESC WERE SLOWLY BUT SURELT GETTING TO GRIPS WITH THE OPPONENTS AND THE POOR PLAYING SURFACE AND STARTING TO HAVE THE LIONS SHARE OF THE PLAYAND FINN SHOT NARROWLY IOVER YJE BAR ON THE 15TH MINUTE MARK .JOE ASP THEN HAD A SHOT SAVED BY THE LUCAS KEEPER AFTER A SLICK MOVE INVOLVING JAY HULME AND FINN AS BRNESC UPPED THE ANTE.

IN A ISOLATED ATTACK FROM LUCAS JAY HULME HEADED OFF THE LINE TO PREVENT LUCAS MAKING IT 1 1
AT THE BREAK BRNESC WERE 1 0 UP AND DESERVEDLY SO THEY HAD FOR THE MOSTPART CONTROLLED THE MIDDLE OF THE PARK WITH JAY ONEILLS CLEVER USE OF THE BALL AND CHRIS FAGANS PROWESS AT DEAD BALLS ALLIED WITH THE WORK RATE OF JOE ASP AND JAMIE ASPINWALL WITH THE POTENCY OF FINN AND DAVE WHIT UP FRONT HAD ENSURED BRNESC HAD DONINATED THE LAST 25 MINS OF THE FIRST HALF
BRNESC .JUST AS AT EAST VILLA WERE SLOW OUT OF THE TRAPS IN THE SECOND HALF AND THE FIRST 10 MINS LUCAS HAD MORE OF THE BALL THAN IN THE WHOLR 45 MINS OF THE FIRST HALF AND HAD 2 CHANCES THAT A BETTER FINISHER COULD HAVE GAVE US A SCORE LINE OF 2 1 TO LUCAS WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN A TRAVESTY.
AFTER WHAT SEEMED A ETERNITY BRNESC ROUSED THEMSELVES FROM THEIR LETHARGY AND JOE ASP SET UP JAY ONEILL WHO WAS JUST WIDE WITH A SNAP EFFORT FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX
WHIT THEN POUNCED ON A MISTAKE FROM THE LUCAS CENTRE BACK AND VOLLEYED JUST OVER THE BAR.CHRIS BELL NEARLY SCORED A GAIN WNEN JUST FAILING TO TURN IN JAMIE ASPINWALL FRE E KICK AT THE BACK POST
LUCAS NEARLY SCORED WHEN BRNESC WENT TO SLEEP AT THE BACK BUT THE PLAYER PUT HIS EFFORT WIDE.
BRNESC SWEPT THE OTHER END AND A INTRICATE MOVE BETWEEN FINN,JOE AND JAY O ENDED WITH A PINPOINT CROOS CREATING HAVOC IN THE LUCAS BOX BEFORE IT WAS SCRAMBLED AWAY.
I THE 80 MIN BRNESC MADE IT 2 0 WHEN A CORNER KICK BY JAMIE WAS MET AT THE NEAR POST BY CHRIS BELL WHOSE FLICK TO THE BACK POST WAS MET BY GOALKING FINN TO VOLLEY IN HIS 15thOF THE SEASON
