In a very entertaining match with both sides playing an open attacking game South Bank had the better of the opening stages going into a 2-0 lead after twenty minutes with goals from Chris Watson after good inter passing by Gary Owens and Paul Barker and Anthony Reed hitting the second after harrassing two defenders then winning the ball and smashing home. Dubliners hit one back when Jamie Clark slipped when attempting to clear a through ball by Glenn Butterworth for Karl Boult to score past Danny Watson. Minutes before half time Phillip King was injured in a tackle the Bank were disorganised momentarily when he tried to carry on James Hackett broke clear to hit the equaliser just on halftime for 2-2.
Phillip King was replaced at the interval South Bank introduced Jamie May. A bullet like shot hit Sam Greenfield and the Bank felt hard done by when referee James Cann, who had a very good performance, awarded a penalty. This was converted by Glenn Butterworth past Danny Watson who guessed the right way but alas was beaten 2-3 to the Dubliners. Jamie May playing in his first game since his recovery from an operation he put in an excellent performance a testament to his hard work and committment. Chris Watson was replaced by Simon Annal and his driven cross got a slight deflection off a defender deceiving keeper Darren Humphrey to make it 3-3. This set up a grandstand finish and the hard working non stop performance of Anthony Reed was rewarded when he smacked home the winner 4-3 from a through ball by man of the match Harrison Davies.
Hardwick hit top form with an awesome display of clinical striking from their forwards and a tremendous all round team performance. Jamie Owens bagged a double hat-trick and Kallum Hannah netted four times. Hardwick took control from the start and scored three goals with their first three attacks, two from Owens and one from Hannah. They then had the taste for it and pushed on and on, by half time it was 7-0. St Mary’s deserve a lot of credit for playing the game so sportingly and kept it going right to the end. The other Hardwick goals came from Ross Heslop 2, Danny Dawson & Philly Parkinson.
