Macclesfield Saints v Tytherington.
Saints were still half asleep when the whistle went as Tytherington took
a very early lead when effortlessly they carried the ball into the back
of the net.0-1
Tytherington were controlling the early minutes of the game and had a
shot pushed away for a corner by our new keeper Joe.
The corner was taken perfectly but Josh was on hand to clear the ball up
field to Jamie then Liam and Sam and finally Jack inside the box who
went for the shot but unfortunately was smothered by Tytherington
players.
Saints were beginning to wake up a little and showed great skill and
passing but without reward.
Tytherington were keeping gk Joe busy who had to make two great saves,
Tytherington deserved the lead they had.
A free kick to Saints was awarded just inside the half way line this was
taken by Sam, Tytherington headed the ball away for a counter attack,
Mike was on hand to clear the danger giving saints time to regain their
shape.
First real attacking play from saints came from Jack b who took the ball
from Tytherington passed to Louis on the left hand side who passed to
jack who travelled with the ball the width of the pitch, Louis having
repositioned himself was waiting for the ball but unfortunately the ball
from jack was travelling to fast for Louis to get his foot on.
A disallowed goal from Tytherington reminded Saints that Tytherington
were here to win.
Tytherington continued to attack and test our keeper, Joe made an
outstanding save and pushed the ball away to give Tytherington a corner,
the corner was taken well,however Gerald cleared the immediate danger,
before eventually a goal kick was given.
Play was all Tytherington and Josh cleared a goal scoring opportunity
then Mike cleared off the line.
Tytheringtons next chance as Tytherington weaved through saints players
who just seemed to stand still, last man Josh finally took hold of the
situation and took the ball and a perfectly timed pass found Jack on the
right wing who carried the ball up the wing to Sam who's shot went just
wide.
Saints had finally woke up and were showing some promising play, Jamie
made a well timed tackle taking the ball from Tytherington, Jack B, Liam
and Louis were controlling the midfield well.
Jack send a perfect ball into the box rising high above everyone else
Josh got his head to it, how he missed the goal i don't know!(great move
Josh!
Tytheringtons next goal came from an unstoppable free kick.0-2.
Saint's were really playing great football .but unfortunately against
the run of play Tytherington scored again3-0.
With second to go Tytherington were hungry for more goals, Mike with the
move of the game so far kept the goals at bay when he followed a
Tytherington player all the way into the box stopping him getting his
shot on target and keeping the score line at 0-3 as the half time
whistle went.
SECOND HALF.
Saints had an uphill struggle to get anything from this game they've
done it before could they do it again on derby day?
Tytherington started the stronger side and Joe made a good save early on
in the first half.
A free kick to saints gave them hope, Sam sent the ball into the box,
Liam with great skill chested it down to Darren who's shot was blocked,
then josh had his shot blocked before a goal kick was finally awared.
Saints continued to attack Jamie's shot just wide of the target.
saint's found the fire in their bellies that was needed, they were
chasing every ball. Eventually they were rewarded for their efforts, Sam
travelled the length of the pitch and sent the ball flying past the
keeper.1-3.Saints
still had a long way to go but the goal had lifted the players further
and the parents were ecstatic.
Saints were back in the game ,although Tytherington were still dangerous
and were pushing forward at every opportunity but opportunities were
becoming less!
Darren making his debut today didn't disappoint his new team mates and
laid a perfect ball onto sam who struck the back of the net for his
second goal of the game.2-3
Saints were really up for this game today and deserved the goals for
their second half performance.
More chances came with shots from Liam. Louis, Gerald and Josh.
Both keepers were continuing to be tested and it was end to end
fantastic football from both sides.
Against the run of play Tytherington scored to widen the gap 2-4 ouch!
The lads head's didn't go down it made them work that much harder, the
lads could be heard giving each other instructions, options and words of
encouragement.
With just 9mins left Sam struck the ball into the net for his hat rick
and to lesson the gap.3-4.
It was all saints they hit the bar before eventually levelling the score
a corner ball from Sam, Liam jumped above all the other players to head
it into goal.4-4.
Not happy with a draw saints were hungry for more goals and shots from
James, Gerald and Jack followed.
With minutes left a free kick from Sam saw the keeper get his finger
tips to the ball to deny Saints (great keeping)
Both teams going for it both hit the bar in the dying seconds.
Final whistle blew 4-4 FEW!!!!!!!!
IS THAT WHAT YOU CALL A GAME OF TWO HALVES?
MEN OF THE MATCH THE WHOLE TEAM!
