Altrincham Vs Spurs Network FC
12.08.06
Moss Lane
English Conference
[/B]
In a game where SNFC played mostly with ten men, they still looked too good for Altrincham.
Midfielder
Justin aka -AFCA- found him self sent from the pitch near the half hour mark for pulling Altrinchams Bushell's shirt while he was running at goal.
Before the red card incident SNFC were 2-0 up and had that cushion to full back on.
Rob put the away team in the lead with a fine header from a
Craig cross. He's second came in the 21st minute from a fierce shot that the keeper had no chance with.
Then the moment of madness from the ref. He deemed
Justin as the last defender. Seeing the replay
DC76 looked like he could have intercepted the ball, the ref made a rash decision. He got it wrong.
alma was disappointing throughout the game missing guilt edge chances, but it would be her strike partner who again would take the plaudits for this one.
The second half saw Altrincham got an early goal, the 11 against 10 was finally showing through.
But the SNFC boys held on brilliantly with
DC76 and
Georginho leading the back and not letting Altrincham get back level.
Then on a fantastic counter attack SNFC got the 3rd and final goal to seal the game.
Craig,
keane on Spurs and
Rob broke away with the move ending in
Rob heading home and getting his second hat trick in 2 games.
MOTM:Rob Again the lads did a fantastic job, I thought we would go on a score a bag full after the opening goals. But a terrible red card decision really put us against the ropes. The second half Altrincham were playing well but our defenders held their line superbly.
Terrible, could have cost us today. The linesman or should I say "assistant ref" didn't put up his flag, and he was in a far better position to make the call. It was a knee-jerk reaction from a poor ref today.
Yeah it's been an amazing week, not just for me though, we're all performing very well and full of confidence.
