Docherty & Twigg see off Brave Manics

Bracknell Manics faced an unstoppable Twigg side for the opening game. Full credit has to be given to the Manics for a great 1st half display, but missing from the line-up Mark gates, Barry O'Connell, (both left the club) Mark Robertson, Jason Graaff, Tim Roake and new signing Yusuke Yamada all injured, with Ryan Warman unavailable due to a 'sky tv installation'; this had Sunday morning romping written all over it.

But Manics could have taken the lead after just 15 minutes, stand in Harry Clowse drilling a low, hard shot from just outside the box. Well done to the Twiggs keeper tipping it around the post for a corner. However, despite a good delivery, Manics just couldn't seem to be rewarded, every time the Twigg clearing from danger.

Havermans went into the book early on in the game, taking his frustrations out on poor old David Fenton. Manics were intending to take a team photo before the game, but decided not too after Simon Blay mentioned this would only make the Twigg want to nail the Manics harder during the game.

Despite the Manics heroic work, Manics conceded before the half, which left Patsalides scratching his head with Manics surely deserving at least one goal from the number of chances and corners in the first.

Both sides made changes in the second half, but Twigg came out better as they just would not stop attacking. Docherty scored the second, a well taken penalty after a handball in the box from stand in centre back Gareth Evans. Then some more great movement by the Twigg earnt them a third and fourth before the end.
