NAZAM DRUID WELSH NATIONAL DIVISION ONE
GRESFORD ATHLETIC 5 RESERVES AIRBUS UK RESERVES 1
Home to Airbus, the early pacesetters what will be a good test for our young squad.
We started quickly again and within 10 minutes our early dominance was rewarded when Richie Carr scrambled over a goal bound Robbie Jones effort.
De ja vue Glyn Ceiriog and despite this promising start we continued to lack concentration at the back, as we failed to deal with a long hoof up-field and their centre forward nipped in to slot the ball passed the advancing Craig Trow, 1 – 1 against the run of play. This didn't stop us as we kept asking questions of the Airbus defence forcing a number of corners on the run, eventually the oncoming Sutty met Lloydie's corner to thump his header passed their keeper. The goals kept coming and not long after the re-start we were 3-1 up with Sutty again popping up at the back post to slam home his second of the game. In between missing two good chances we found the net again when Broadie broke clear to possibly finish off the game.
Half Time Gresford Athletic 4 – Airbus 1
Half time team talk, keep up the good work, as it's always difficult to keep going when you have control.
Overall we limited the opposition to only 1 chance in the 2 nd half and despite not scoring too many goals, Broady coolly slotted home his second goal of the game mid- way through the half to complete the scoring 5 - 1.
Not to sound too cheesy this was a great squad performance with all 14 players playing their part.
