The Sheraton 2 Mandale 1
Due to all the rain the pitch was in perfect condition for a game of football. Both team had key players missing the Sherry went for it from the kick off starting with a 3-5-2 and started the better team seeing a lot of the ball Ste Lonsdale thought he had scored when he had a shot cleared off the line after a goal mouth scramble, Dave Baker then hit the post after a cleared corner found him 25 yards out he hit it perfectly but seen it somehow stay out. 20 minutes in and the Mandale started to get into the game playing some good football Jamie Stone on the left wing was causing all sorts of problems for the Sheraton and helped create a few good chances the Mandale were now on top and got a goal before half time Jamie Stone ran down the left wing going past 2 Sherry defenders crosses the ball to find an unmarked Dave Mennell who side footed it past the helpless Danny Phillips. Half time and it was an even game but Mandale had taken their chance.
Second half started like the first did with the Sherry looking to get goals, Dave Baker saw another great shot come back off the post the Sherry could sense they were still in the game and were making good chances but couldn’t find a way past Ste Gill in the Mandale goal. Mandale players started to lose control and found themselves in the referee’s book one after another, the Sheraton made some changes in a bid to get goals and within minutes substitute Martin Slater found himself one on one with only Ste Gill to beat which he did 1-1 and 20 minutes to go. The Sherry were working hard and man of the Match Raymond Ayre was breaking things up and stopping the Mandale getting into the game, Mandale resorted to long range shots which Danny Phillips was equal to, Martin Slater added a second from a very tight angel to give the Sherry the lead. Mandale continued to get at the Referee and then had a player sent off. Minutes later Martin Slater went through one on one again but this time Ste Gill just took him out 25 yards from goal being last man he was lucky to stay on the pitch, Ste Gill made a few good saves before the game finished which went on forever the added 6 minutes injury time due to all the cards he had given out.
