AFC TITANS 2-1 Great Horton FC
Back to winning ways for out of form AFC Titans this Easter Weekend.
A high flying Great Horton FC , fresh from there Cup Semi Final defeat last week , where the opponents at Apperley Bridge.
Nothing taken for granted as The Home side looked to get back to winning ways in Division 2A after some disappointing results the last few fixtures.
Titans started well putting Horton on the back foot. Some nice interchange of passes between the Midfield and forward line as The Titans reverted to a 4-4-2 formation. Steadfast at the back The Blues defense soaked up any pressure from Horton.
25 Mins in and a jinx run from Liam Price into The opponents box drew the inevitable challenge from The Great Horton defender and a penalty ensued.
League top scorer Mick Dougan stepped up to give The Titans an early lead.
Shortly after Great Horton stepped up a gear and pressured The Home side as they became a little complacent with the lead. The equalizer came just 5 minutes later on 30 mins.
Not to be out done , again some nice inter play from The Blues put Liam Price in down the wing as his crossed skimmed across the Horton box , Great Horton Captain failed to clear and and Mick Dougan netted from close range to make it 2-1 and set up a nail biting 2nd Half.
The 2nd 45 was pretty much even with both keepers pulling off some good saves. Sam `Bam Bam` Thornton having an inspired game in goals for The Titans.
No score in the second half as AFC Titans held on for the vital 3 points to keep them in contention for a top 5 finish.
FT:2-1
