MATCH REPORT
17 February 2007
Essex Olympian Football League
Reserve Division One
Epping 3 v 1 Ryan
A heavy pitch and difficult conditions made this more of a match than it should have been. Player for player the home side were far superior but a relaxed attitude from one side and a steely determination from the other evened the match up. It was the visitors who took the lead just before half time and, but for a great save from Kev Christou they would have gone in at half time two up. The second half was a different story it was constant Epping pressure but without a finished product. The introduction of Danny Turpin for the injured Bailey livened the side up and two successive attacks were rewarded with penalties. The first a push on the nimble Nick Dainton and the second a trip on Pete Beaumont. This week Tony Whiteway converted both.
The third was a spectacular free kick from James Kelly from 20 yards out straight into the back of the net. A good win but harder than it should have been.
Team: Christou, Robinson, Seymour, Dainton, Webster, Scriven, Mavin, Whiteway, Beaumont, Bailey, Kelly,
Subs:Turpin, Harper, Shepherd.
