Marlborough Black v Thornhill B 10/10/09

Thornhill 4 - 3 Marlborough

This one was a real hard fought close football match. The game started tentatively for both teams. But soon Thornhill started to challenge and it became an end to end thrilller. Marlborough were the first to strike with a goal that just evaded a great dive from by Jack. Next Chris equalised with a neet chip over the keeper, the defence were working hard with Dave in his usual vocal form and Evan clearing well, but Marlborough then scored just before half time.

The second half started, and soon Thornhill equalised with a nice strike from James D ( A great birthday present for him). This was followed by a corner from Marlborough leading to an unlucky own goal by Thornhill. In the dying seconds of the 2nd half Jake got a free kick and the whole team lined up in the box. A superb strike by Jake led to an equaliser from Chris.

Extra time then saw some tired lads still giving 100% and this eventually led to the 3rd from Chris stopping it going to penalties

Well done lads a hard fought win over a very good opposition who played superb football.

The man of the match as always is a tough one with so many great performances but today it goes to Andrew for his dedication in Defence well done.
