Claregate Park Rangers 4 vs 1 AFC Springfield

A comprehensive 4-1 win for Claregate today with a solid performance to match.

? GOAL 5 mins - Daniel "Burnzy" Burns with a goal of the season contender! A volley from 40 yards over the keeper and dipping under the bar, a superb strike.

? GOAL 32 mins - skipper Tom Banks chases down a ball from John Goodwin and his gamble pays off as keeper and defender get in a mix up only for Banksy to slot into an empty net.

? GOAL 34 mins - Kane Lewis sees his shot from distance thunder off the bar and straight into the path of skipper Tom Banks who controls well and delivers his 2nd goal with a powerful finish.

? GOAL 44 mins - Rodney "Trotter" Williams and Burnzy combine to create a chance for Kane Lewis at the far post who finished past the keeper and defender from 6 yards.

Half time score 4-0.

2nd half saw Claregate play with a slower tempo but still creating chances, none of which converted to goals. Springfield pulled one back on 51 minutes but rarely threatened a comeback. On 85 minutes, a Springfield handball inside the box resulted in a penalty. Tom Banks with a chance to wrap up his hattrick only to see his effort saved well by the keeper.

Man of the match today went to midfield anchor Danny Jones, comfortable on the ball and often starting most of the attacking play but every player played their part today in a good team performance. Subs involved were Matty Yeomans, Adam Webb and Josh Hodson.

Next up, Codsall Station - same time same place.
