Men's Third Team Match Reports 2009-10

 

Lymm 3rds XI Vs Goldbourne 2nds Date: 24th Oct 2009 Time:15:00 Result: Won 5-1   This is one of Lymm's favourite fixtures of the calendar. We went in to the game, after losing last week, really wanting a win. From the push back both teams looked up for the game and it wasn’t long before Lymm took the lead with a goal from Matty Fox. The goal was followed up by a second scored by Christian Freeman, a good one two for an easy tap in. Goldbourne got one back which just made Lymm push harder for a third which was scored by Ben Ashford. Si Elison got his first goal of the season to take it to 4-1. With 10 minutes to go, and Jonny (Captain) shouting at the team, “it’s not over yet”, Man of the match Martin Hawthorne pulls out some amazing sliding saves and goal stopping dives. This left people thinking he was never in his forties. The game finished with Rob Ashford putting it past the keeper with ease making the final score 5-1. DoD was given to Christian Freeman for missing chances to last him a life time. He would say “I was in the right place at the right time just that one inch out every time.” Overall a good win for Lymm.

Lymm 3rds XI Vs Runcorn 3rds  Date: 10th Oct 2009 Time:14:30 Result: Drew 2-2 Going in to this game we knew as a team it wasn't going to be a walk over and the rumour of an ex national league player playing had built up the tension. A shaky start from Lymm who went 1-0 down but we didn’t get disheartened the tension on the pitch was rising and warnings were given out left, right and Chelsea. Some good play saw the ball worked down the channel to be stopped in the `D` by Christian Freeman, who converted it to a goal- a Good team goal! The second half started with a few yellow cards for both teams, this put us down to 8 men but we worked well as a team covering the empty positions and still we pushed forward to get a second goal. This came from a free hit on the right hand side held up and moved around by Rob Ashford and john Sodie created a perfect pass across the `D` to Freeman, to do what he does best and slot it passed the keeper. The rest of the half was 50/50 with Chris Hunt (MOM) stopping the pressure from Runcorn unfortunately it wasn’t enough and from a free hit Runcorn got a second and levelled the scorer at 2all. Not a bad result, well done lymm still unbeaten this season. (Unbiased report from Christian Freeman)
