PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY MATCH - SATURDAY 24th JULY 2010
VENUE: HAYDEN ROAD, RUSHDEN, NORTHANTS
All in all, a very successful work out against our week-end
match day host's who ply their trade in the step 6, United
Counties League Division One.
There being very much a sharpness and vibrancy about our all
round general pattern of play, which speaks volumes for all the
hard work put in on the training ground which is standing us in
such fine fettle.
Rushden to their credit worked extremely hard themselves, never
threw in the towel and kept it up as a meaningful contest right
up until the final whistle.
Our goals in each and every instance were well crafted, the
first putting our noses in front after Aaron Best won the ball
in the middle of the Park threading it through to Vinnie
Durrant wide on the left flank, Danny Cornwell also being
involved in the "assist process" playing in Dwight Gayle to
pick his spot to rifle past keeper Allington into the right
sided corner.
Home custodian Allington had a more than decent game keeping
his side in it before another high octane combination that saw
Cornwell very much the "provider" for goal number two, a great
turn and twist from the left sided penalty area byline before
lofting the ideal ball holding its legs for long enough, Dwight
Gayle steaming up in support to head firmly into the right
sided roof of the net.
HALF TIME: RUSHDEN AND HIGHAM UNITED 0 STANSTED
2
Second half and despite ringing the most necessary changes,
this was still excellent all round fare from our players,
typified by the third and final goal from Kevin Vallis coming
on at the interval in a revamp of the front line.
Vallis taking his goal marvelously well, crisp shot from the
edge of the box well worth getting his name on the
scoresheet.
Many plus marks today, with Danny Hopkins such an industrious
performer putting the "big shift" in. Lee Garrity showing he
has what it takes and business as usual from a very competent
first team squad.
