We were once again slow out of the traps and fell behind after some sloppy defending but where back on level terms 5 minutes later when from a corner a ball was laid back to ANDEEL MOHAMED who smashed into the back of the net.


We fell behind again after 15 minutes when the Hollinwood centre forward was allowed a free run on goal to slot past Alec Perkins.10 minutes later ANDY EASTWOOD won a 50/50 with the keeper and slotted home to put us level.

Ten minutes before half time Hollinwood scored with an almost indentical goal to their second and we went in 3 - 2 down at half time.


After some harsh words were said at half time Town came hurtling out of the traps and TOM DALE ran on to a through ball to put Town level once again.

With around 20 minutes to go Town went ahead for the first time when ANDY EASTWOOD ran on to a pass from Tom Dale to slot past the keeper to put us 4 - 3 up.

We were then on top for most of the game and despite one a two little scares we could have ended up winning by more.
A good win in the end but if only we could start playing for the full 90 minutes.
