Report for matches played on Sunday August 28 Workforce Unlimited Premier Division WITH the majority of Boston Sunday League teams requesting
no game for the bank holiday weekend there was only one game in the Workforce
Unlimited Premier Division. But it was an entertaining affair all the same
with Duke of York and Golden Lion matching each other. Lion’s Benn Houghton
scored the first Sunday League goal of the season after 20 minutes following
a lively start, with both teams in attacking mode. Both sets of forwards
created chances only to see the ball evading the back of the net. Andy Brown,
continuing his fine form from last season, came closest for the Duke only to
see three good strikes being saved by the Lion’s keeper. Shaun Dawson chipped
in with two well-struck free-kicks but the Duke could not find the equaliser
in the first period. The second half continued where the first left off and
after just five minutes Jamie Kuhn made a dazzling run. He attempted to round
the goalie but was brought down in the box — Shaun Dawson stepped up to
finish from the penalty spot. Neither team could find the winning goal — the
Duke’s Andy Brown coming the closest with a 30-yard rasper following some
good runs down the left flank. Workforce Unlimited Division One There was also just one match on the schedule in
Workforce Unlimited Division One where Patter United were unlucky to concede
the first goal in their match against Eagle Harvesters which came on 30
minutes. Steve Siggee hit a superb 25-yarder which Owens, in goal, appeared
to have covered. But at the last moment a defensive error saw the ball sneak
into the back of the net It was 1-0 at half-time. With Harvesters beginning
to take charge, a second goal appeared inevitable. And it came once again
from Siggee following a corner kick.
Within five minutes Harvesters had scored twice more through Gary Taylor
and Alex Tilley as Patter crumbled under the pressure. All credit to Patter who kept pressing
forward but were let down by poor finishing. |
