MATCH REPORT- GATE FC 15 – 1 ROUNDHEAGENS
Off the back of a good result against crossgates the Gate was ready for a game that would be a tester and after a little trouble finding the pitch the first battle was won, a inferior team who feared the gate was struggling to field 11, after long deliberation Jay Stevoe let Mucky and James play for them as gate had 2 more subs and 90 mins is a good run out in pre season.
The gate made changes due to injury and went with peanut as stopper Trueman(C) and jacko with nicky and nat making up the back 4, Duffy Gav JP and Dan do the job in midfield shifty and mark hill as strikers, Col and Morton subbing with jay stevo as ref due to injury. You could see the gate was far superior right from the off and this team struggled to cope with the pace that gate set, moving the ball fast and with meaning it was not long till the net was ruffled due to some great link up with shifty and mark hill. The Gate continued the pace right till half time with mark hill and gav showing good chemistry and clinical finishing they was cruising by half time. A change was made and the gate came out more settled and steadied the pace with mortan replacing Duffy. The second half saw hatricks complete by Mark hill who ended up with 5 and Dan who not only got his first goal in gate colours but completed his hatrick. The game continued and regardless of the score the gate continued to work hard an was roofless, with peanut having very little to do up to the 75th min the game was surly going to be SILLY – NIL until a cross came over and was handled by Jacko (for the second week running) the ref pointed to the spot and the gates own James Stevenson stepped up the take it, good solid penalty saw the goal keeper waving bye to his clean sheet bonus. The gate dominated again till the final whistle.
SCORERS – mark hill 5, Dan Hewitt 3, gav kell 2, shifty 2 nat welsh 1, chris mortan 1, AND JP 1.
