BRIAN TODD JUNIOR CHALLENGE CUP - 1ST ROUND - FIRST LEG
GRIMOLDSBY FC 0 MANBY FC 1
Attendance headcount 24
With me and Hazel extending our midweek to a week break away, i looked in to Football Traveller for a match today and with this being a local derby, where the 2 villages actually run in to each other, though it may be a good cup tie to watch and a early finish due to the 1.30pm kick off. Whilst at Horncastle Town FC last night I ran into the Grimoldsby Founder and Manager Rob.
The sat Nav was very good today and took us to the ground just short to the east of Louth, though did stop for breakfast in Louth at a cafe named Beverleys, which after the match in the pub, found that one of the players mums owned it and of course served us.
The ground has plenty of parking at the front and back of the commuunity centre and houses the changing rooms and also a little room for teas and coffees.
After a minutes silence, the game kicked off and I was a bit worried that I may just see a landslide of goals, with the hosts close to bottowm, whilst the visitors sitting second in the table. I did mention that I couldnt see it going to extra time and penalties, then was told, it wouldnt as it was the first leg, so it was something different.
Last night at Horncastle, none of the keepers had to make a save, here that didnt last as the home keeper managed to push a shot around the post.
The teams were matching each other all over the pitch and reached half time at 0-0.
The Second Half both teams used subs and alter tactics to get a break through goal and both were in attack mode, but after 69 minutes, the visitors were awarded a free kick to the left hand side oif the halfway line that Luke Haagensen swung in to the home penalty and it fell to ELLIS BARKER to bungle home from inside the 6 yard box.
The homesters pressed forward and in the 78th minute, ttwo players went for the ball in the Manby penalty with the home team appealing strongly for a penalty but the young referee was having none of it and waved play on.
At Full Time, Manby FC knew they'd been in a tough match and The Grims could well have been going in to the Second Leg on level terms, but it is advantage to Munby FC and result I will be looking out for.
