MATCH REPORT: Teversal Reserves 2 – 1 Linby CWFC

Bookmark
Linby made a losing return to the league after being beaten 2-1 by Teversal Reserves in their first competitive game for over 21 days, writes Kieran Booker

A freak first half goal which was claimed by Teversal’s Danny Fletcher was the only highlight of a drab, drizzly first half. Jonathan Jenkinson managed to tap in a leveller for Linby after the hour mark but Kurtis Bamford made sure all three points stayed in Teversal with an 80th minute long range strike.

Danny Fletcher forced Jamie Davies into a close range save after only four minutes after running onto a long range ball from the left side. That chance was the only real effort in the early stages as both sides struggled to settle in possession.

The deadlock was broken after 25 minutes though when the home side scored with a rare chance. The ball was pumped into the ball from a deep position on the left side, the ball bounced in the box and ended up dropping in over Davies’ head. During the celebrations, Teversal’s Danny Fletcher claimed a touch on the ball on its travel towards goal.

Captain Aidy Harris tried to get Linby a quick equaliser when he lined up a close range free kick two minutes later. The attacker saw his strike take a deflection from the wall before being easily scooped up by Myles Wright.

The home side nearly doubled their lead in the last minute of the half. A corner wasn’t cleared by the defence as it continued  to ping around their box, a awkward bounce nearly caught out Davies but the keeper eventually dived on the ball to smother the danger.

Kye Pilmore was able to peel away from his marker early in the second half as a more composed Linby went in search of an equaliser. The forward used his pace to break away but the Teversal keeper was able to steal the ball from his feet before he could get a shot away.

Pilmore was involved in Linby’s equaliser which came in the 60th minute. Tyler Guy was able to launch a free kick into the box from near half way, Pilmore got a touch which forced a tip from an outrushing Wright but defender Jonathan Jenkinson reacted quickest to tap the ball into the empty net.

The away side looked to push on after grabbing the equaliser but Aidy Harris could only see his shot deflect into the side netting before his side wasted the follow up corner. Their next chance fell to substitute Jamie Tryner but he could only fire over from outside the box.

Danny Fletcher looked to get himself a second after 79 minutes. He was able to drive down the right side but his eventual shot flew diagonally across goal and straight out the back.

A minute later his side did re-take the lead though as Kurtis Bamford grabbed a winner. Kurtis Bamford received the ball, 25 yards out on the right side of the pitch, he was able to take a touch before releasing a striker which flew in straight over Jamie Davies’ head.

After going behind for a second time, Linby threw everyone forward in search of an equaliser. Lewis Weaver was able to break through 1v1 from the half way line but was denied by a great close range stop by Wright.

In injury time, Linby thought they had got a last gasp leveller. Tyler Guy saw his free kick from the right side glide straight into the opposite corner but his sides’ celebrations were soon halted as the linesman flagged for offside as Will Spray had attempted to connect with the ball on its way through.

After the game, Linby manager Lewis Saxby said “Im disappointed with the performance today. We’ve created some chances but we’ve given away possession too cheaply and too often today.”
