Mary Dendy 1 Inter Macc 2
Dendy’s eight game winning streak came to an end at the hands of a young Inter Macc side who completed the double over their more experienced opponents. Jermaine Leveridge chases down James Curbishley Playing some incisive passing football the visitors set their stall out early taking a two goal lead inside fifteen minutes to give Dendy a real up hill struggle. James Slater capitalised on some sloppy defending to make it 1-0 and then Elliot Bruce scored a remarkable second as he saw his speculative cross from the touchline fully forty yards from goal, catch the wind and sail over a bemused Matt Stott in Dendy’s goal and into the net. Martin Brunker crashed home a thunderous free kick to pull one back for Dendy which crashed in off the underside of the bar but the second half produced little as both sides cancelled each other out . That said, Luke Watkin should have made it 2-2 thirty seconds into the second half but his goal bound shot just didn’t have enough pace and was brilliantly cleared of the line and away from danger.
Chris Shepherd wins another header for Mary Dendy
A very lacklustre dendy performace saw the club concede top position with a very annoying 2-1 defeat. Both oppostion goals could have been avoided plus at the other end chances could have been taken. After going 2-0 down, Davers got Dendy back in the game with a fine free kick. Things could have been so different if striker Luke Watkin just put his foot through a chance early in the second half which saw it cleared off the line on to the post but apart from that the 2nd half was dreadful with all Dendy players guilty of giving the ball back straight to the oppostion under no pressure. At the end there were a few what if's & if only's but we simply were not good enough on the day against a very well organised Inter Macc team who derved all 3 points. Come next Saturday things will change.
