Patchway Athletic v St Vallier

This week although St Vallier started the match with more confidence and purpose and played some very nice football they still ended up loosing to Patchway 4 - 2. The tackling was good and the passing was crisp and accurate. Even the weather was nice. The back four looked better. Rich Sage was in goal and had Swazey Diamond, Tom Ferris, Alex Morris and Dan Tyrell to block any Patchway advance. Patchway had a good chance to open the scoring after an interception by Dimitri Brimble, who then passed to Ben Fry who's shot was saved. Within 18 minutes of the start St Vallier had scored with a goal by Abdul Salaman. Scott Phelps was also very busy in midfield and in fact the midfield was dominated in the first half by St Vallier and 6 minutes later Abdul Salaman scored again for St Vallier with a shot from the edge of the area that went in off the underside of the bar.. Both goals came from efforts started by Swazey Diamond and with good support from Adam James. Marcus Brook was replaced by Dan Wigston-Richards. Patchway held their heads and looked in disarray. St Vallier looked the better side but eased up a bit and allowed Patchway to get a goal back in the 37th minute when Matt Webb scored from a corner kick from Jordan Webber.

When the second half started St Vallier knew they had a fight on. Patchway came at them and stepped up the pressure. They had several attempts on goal, stopped by good defending from Tom Ferris and Dan Tyrell. Patchway also made a double substitution taking Matt Webb and Jordan webber off and replacing them for Aaron Bundy and Luke Bayford. With just over an hour of play gone Patchway scored to level the score at 2-2 Dan wigston-Richards scored from a cross from Dimitri Brimble. Shortly afterwards Scott Phelps was taken off and Kyle Ellis was brought on. With 15 minutes to go Swazey Diamond was subbed for Jordan Curry. St Vallier continued to dominate most of the midfield and Jason Barter had a good game with some very good runs through the middle and out to the right wing. Dean Dagger also had some good runs up the left wing but St Vallier's finishing was poor. 6 minutes before full time Abdul Salaman was injured and St Vallier were down to 10 men for a while. Errors in St Vallier’s own half saw keeper Rich Sage having to make two good saves and there were three corner kicks to Patchway in quick succession. When the ball was eventually cleared out it came to Matt Bradley who had a good run up the field towards the Patchway goal but was stopped inside the 18 yard box before he had chance to shoot or pass the ball. Patchway were a different team in the second half and it showed as St Vallier made a mistake at the back which allowed Patchway's Luke Bayford to score a third goal. St Vallier threw everyone forward in an effort to pull one back and runs into the Patchway penalty area were made by Jason Barter, Matt Bradley, Dean Dagger and Adam James. Patchway found themselves back in the St Vallier penalty area and Patchway went further ahead when Luke Bayford scored his second of the game from a cross from Aaron Bundy and finished the match.

The weather conditions were the worse of the year so far, with temperatures down to 1c and raining making this a very hard game to play in.
Broadwalk Colts gained only their second win of the season when they beat Patchway 5-0. Lewis Brown opened the scoring for Broadwalk with a shot that rebounded off the underside of the cross bar into the net. Their second goal, scored just before half time, was a little freakish as Talum Ferdinand struck the ball from just inside his own half towards the opponent’s goal where the keeper misjudged its flight and it ended up in the net. The second half scoring was started early in the half by James Hayes. This was followed at the midway stage when James Britton scored Broadwalk’s fourth. The scoring was completed by Jake Hill when he ran onto a through ball and slipped it past the keeper. Man of the match for Broadwalk Colts was their goal keeper Matt Dunk who kept a clean sheet and kept Patchway out of the game.
