Hardwick Social Club 7 Dolphin 0

The match remained scoreless for the first half hour with Hardwick probing but unable to make a breakthrough against a stubborn Dolphin rearguard. The first goal arrived when Andy Westwood won a the ball on the right wing, he side stepped the full back and sent in a superb cross for the well timed run and header of Stephen Roberts to hit the back of the net. Within a few minutes the Dolphin were awarded a penalty for a clumsy foul by a Hardwick defender, Darren White making his debut in the Hardwick goal saved the penalty. Just before half-time Hardwick scored again, Jamie Owens latched onto a ball over the top of the Dolphin defence; he quickly controlled the ball and picked his spot into the bottom corner. Hardwick were on top now and increased their lead early in the second half. Kallum Hannah received the ball on the left wing, he outpaced the full back and sent in a low cross and Andy Westwood was on hand to fire home. Jamie Owens who was full of running all match scored two well taken goals to mark a fine debut hat-trick and make the score 5-0, then came the goal of the match and a debut goal for Kallum Hannah. He received the ball on the half way line; he beat two players and released a ferocious shot that bulged the back of the net.
Another debut player Philly Parkinson completed the scoring with well placed strike from the edge of the penalty area.
South Bank 3 Rosegale N & S.A 0
On the opening day of the 2009/10 season South Bank entertained Rosegale in a cracking match the strong wind played a major role in the outcome. It was an even game at the start with both teams battling for control of the midfield. When South Bank took the lead after fifteen minutes a passing move involving Adam Livingstone, Paul Barker ended with a through ball by Martin Laing who found Anthony Reed who smashed home past Patrick Pasani 1-0. Rosegale mounted a sustained fight back and the Bank with the strong wind at their backs managed to keep opposing forwards at bay. On the half hour good work by Harrison Davies, Gary Owens put Marty O'Riordan clear his pass to Anthony Reed was smacked home despite the keeper getting a hand to the ball could not prevent the Bank going 2-0 up. Mark Taylor broke up a Rosegale attack with a great tackle his clearance found Anthony Reed he outpaced the defence to hit home for his hat-trick half time 3-0. The second half saw Rosegale pressing the play with the wind, man of the match Philip King well supported by Jamie Clarke coped well with the aerial bombardment that followed South Bank lost Martin Laing and Paul Barker both injured with substitutes Lee Embleton and Simon Annal taking over and both doing well. Full backs Adam Livingstone and Mark Taylor played the ball out on the floor to wide men Harrison Davies and Marty O'Riordan both causing problems for Rosegale on the counter attack. Gary Owens controlled the midfield doing the simple effective passing frustrating Rosegale who became impatient over hitting the ball. The Bank always looked dangerous when Anthony Reed got possession on the counter again a nervous looking Rosedale. This was a fine hard match that took place in good spirit and was handled very well by Mike Walkington a credit to both sides and the League.

The Sheraton were right on top and man of the match Marc Parry was putting in a good shift, Ash Hauxwell got his second goal a very good finish finding the top corner, Stainsby keeper made a number of save’s but the Sheraton’s centre midfielders were both playing well and it was Dave Charnock turn to put a great ball through to Martin Slater to go through one on one and find the back of the net Carl Thompson found Dave Charles who headed it in from close range.
