Bench: Dennaford,
Blackman, Patsalides
Bracknell Manics showed grit and determination this weekend against
a disciplined Dog & Partridge side.
Manics went off to a fine start, playing good football, and creating
plenty of half chances in front of goal, the final ball was the
only thing missing.
First to score was Mark Robertson, assisted by Gary Sarney for
the goal. Then, it was a vicious tug of war; Dog & Partridge
soon equalised, and put the pressure on the Manics. Before the
break, Manics were 2-1 up with another Robertson goal, this time
Barry O'Connell supplying.
At the break, it looked a little shaky, Manics knew they'd played
good football in the first and that they just needed another
to strengthen their grip on the three points. Dog & Partridge
missed their forward Kettle this week, but there were still plenty
of dangermen, with the Dog throwing players in at every opportunity
for the goal.
And soon their equaliser came, after an offside was ruled off,
Dog squeezed their equaliser home.
O'Connell would leave the pitch after Dog keeper came out to
a 50-50. Manics made their first substitute, and Steve Dennaford
would fill his slot. Manics free kick couldn't convert, but soon
enough had a golden opportunity to take the lead...
This time Dennaford would be the one to receive treatment for
another challenge on the Dog's part. A penalty was awarded and
Mark Robertson would make it 3-2.
Manics made their second substitution, James Blackman on for
David Comper and Joel Curran would push on in left midfield.
Robertson then scored the fourth - an individual effort, before
being substituted for Nikos Patsalides in a straight swap.
Dog grabbed a late goal, but it was too late and Manics would
hold on for the 3 points.
Thanks
to the fans who came to watch the game!
The Manics Man of the Match went to Mark Robertson.
