Marlbro Black v Thornhill B 15/2/10

The match today was always going to be close, but as a spectator this was incredible.

Thornhill started brightly with some nice football and it was only about 10 minutes before Shaun scored from a beautifully struck free kick by Jake. The game then slowed and eventually Marlbro took their chance and got one back. Andrew kept us in it with some acrobatic saves in goal, then another free kick was launched toward goal by Jake, Shaun pinched it on the line giving him his second.

Marlbro were rattled and it showed at a corner when Harry was knocked flying. The ref showed red and we should have romped away. However Marlbro were not out of it yet and scored again to take it to 2 all. There followed a penalty to thornhill that Chris narrowly missed. A draw looked on the cards when Anthony broke from defence on the right and played a through ball to James M on the wing. James hit the ball from range and incredibly it hit the far post and went in. The final few minutes were nail biting but we hung on to get the victory.

Well done lads a fantastic and well earned victory.
