Within minutes of play, Mark Robertson was on the score sheet
with an early goal from another Joel Curran corner. Robertson
volley the ball home in the 6yard box, and sent the Manics off
on a one-goal lead.
The Manics were having the better of the second half, creating
chances, but so were Finch, desperate to create a goal.
The second goal came from David Fenton just before the end of
the first half. Spotting the keeper of his line, David Fenton
launched the ball high into the box, also over a desperate keeper
scrambling on his back foot back to his goal line.
No changes were made at the break, and Finch had decided to up
the tempo of the game and push for their first goal. Within four
minutes of the second half, Manics were under pressure, David
Comper's clearance off the line kept them in the game.
FInch began to play good football and transformed in the second
half, pushing up in midfield. Two goals followed on Finch's behalf,
to draw them level 2-2.
Manics had plenty of chances, Paul Milner's header over the bar,
one tee'd up by Robertson drilled staight into the keeper, and
another shot high, but the Manics should be happy with the 1-1
draw, and another point in the league. Frustration on the Manics
side was at an all time high this weekend, Milner was shown the
red card for decent with minutes of the game remaining.
Plenty
of chances for the Manics this week, but can they keep their
grasp on the number 1 slot? Thanks to the fans for turning up
to watch.
The Manics Man of the Match went to Brian Judge.
