Newton Abbot Match Report

Newton Abbott Spurs 1 (1) Central City 2 (1) - Friendly

Spurs gunned down by the City Arsenal

Central kept their run of form going with a good win at Newton Abbott.

Playing with the bare eleven, once again, despite several positional changes they kept their shape and produced a solid performance. Spurs were restricted to a few long range efforts early on, and it came as no surprise that when they did score it was from distance. Noah managed to get a hand to the shot but it was too strong and nestled into the corner. City kept playing football and soon equalised with a Cameron free kick to take the teams in level at the break.

The second half remained competitive and fitness levels were given a good test on a large pitch. 20 minutes into the half a managerial decision to move Tom Day up to support the front two was instantly rewarded when he got on to the end of a long pass to steer it past the keeper. City had the lead and despite tiring late on they kept their focus and claimed a well deserved victory.

It was a good run out for the players and sets them up for the final three games of the season.

The home straight!!

Hello everyone

Just a quick note from me to say how great we were as a team on Saturday and how enjoyable it was to come away with a nice victory against a well organised and strong Newton Abbot team.

With only a bare 11 players it was going to be a tough task, they are looking likely to win their league (Division One) next week but we played really nice football across the park and came away with a very creditable 2-1 win. 

I have been so pleased/proud/impressed with our recent performances and are playing some great football in a brilliant spirit of friendship and sportsmanship.  It is a real pleasure to watch and be part of this team. 

It is looking like we are without Joey for the remainder of the season after he sustained a broken wrist last week.  We wish you well Joey and a speedy recovery.

Training will now switch to King George V on Wednesdays from 6-7.

So we have three matches remaining:

Home v Cullumpton on Saturday 22^nd April (no Ewan, Zak, Cameron and Joey)

Home v Central United on Wednesday 26^th April (6.30pm KO) (no Joey)

Away v West Exe on Saturday 6^th May (no Ewan, Zak, Cameron and Joey)

Please also note the award afternoon on Saturday 29^th April at Exeter City Ground (2pm – 5pm)

Hope that you have all had a good break and see you on Wednesday.

Thanks everyone

Mark
