DENDY STAY TOP!

 

Mary Dendy    3      Old Alts     1

 Mary Dendy made it three wins in a row and stay top of the ECL after a deserved victory against Old Alts. Alts are a stronger team than last season having recruited several of the Vets players and it showed. Henry Finn has added much needed steel in defence and together with Craig Hookham and Adam Officer limited Dendy to speculative efforts from long range in the first half. Indeed it was the visitors who took the lead on thirteen minutes when Dean Dougan scrambled the ball home from a corner. Dendy brought on Chris Hadfield ten minutes into the second half  and he seemed to spark the team to life and within three minutes they were level. Matty Martin launched a long throw to Matt Morris on the edge of the area whose shot felled the Alts defender in front of him as it cannoned off his midriff. Fortunately it rebounded back to Morris who gratefully volleyed home for his fifth of the season.  Dendy's Chris Coppenhall and Old Alts James Davenport tussle for the ballr

 Dendy took the lead on seventy three minutes when Simon Nicolson’s mazy run was brought to an abrupt end on the edge of the penalty area and his free kick rebounded to the resurgent Matt Morris who gratefully crashed home his second of the game.With five minutes remaining  substitute Leon White who’d been on the pitch barely twenty seconds made the perfect impact as he   dispossesed Alts goalkeeper Dave Howden as he tried to clear the ball near the corner flag and squared the ball to Chris Hadfield who passed the ball into the empty net to seal the victory.
