League:
Paulsgrove Baptist Church 2 - 3 TESTWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH
Testwood
kicked off their first league game of 1991 looking for important away points.
Unfortunately after 15 minutes, a deflection from a Paulsgrove player's
knee, saw the ball fly into the back of the Testwood net.
Testwood
were soon back in the hunt when a good ball from Dave
Brider sent ROGER
FRAPWELL clear, and he finished with clinical accuracy - score 1-1.
Testwood
pressed for a quick second goal, and after several missed chances, JON
BUSS opened his account with a superb shot from eight yards! More pressure
was applied and from a corner and RICH
OAG made it 3-1 with a volley just inside the box.
Half-time:
Paulsgrove Baptist Church 1 - 3 TESTWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH
Testwood
were confident in gaining an away victory after this first half performance,
but the second half had some surprises in store! Paulsgrove pushed men
forward and forced Shaun
Sweeney into some vital saves. Soon Testwood were pinned back into
their own half and a shot from the edge of the box took a "wicked deflection"
off the unfortunate Rich
Bisson and flew into the net, leaving the score 3-2 to Testwood.
But disaster
was soon to strike! A through ball for Paulsgrove saw Testwood's Roy
Walton and goalkeeper Shaun
Sweeney clash as they both went for the ball. Shaun
was taken by ambulance to hospital where it was revealed that he had fractured
his collar-bone.
With only
nine minutes to play, due to the serious injury to the Testwood 'keeper,
Paulsgrove very sportingly conceded the game.
Final score:
Paulsgrove Baptist Church 2 - 3 TESTWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH
Man-of-the-Match
went to Shaun
Sweeney for some fine and brave saves.
