KIRTON BRICKWORKS FC 7 RAVENSHEAD FC 2
Looking for something local, I spotted this match on my Charity Blog, so Hazel set out to take me to the Station Road Ground. On arrival I was greeted by Tony and his wife soon made me and Hazel a cuppa and Martin Coulson introduced himself to me and we began chatting away.
Me and Martin stood not far away from the home dugout throuhout the match and really good meeting himwith full view of the pitch as both sides ran out and kick off was on its way, for the first 30 minutes, Kirton hit the crossbar whilst Ravenshead had young 16 year sprinting down the left wing and crossing but no one to get on to the ball.
In the 32nd minute, there was a foul and the referee pointed to the spot, where Kirton converted to take the lead. Just before the half time break, a kirton player turned and shot low past the visiting keeper to double the homesters lead.
Into the Second Half and The Brickies pushed forward and madeeluded the visitit 3-0 in the 51st minute, two minutes later it became 4-0 when a 25 yard shot evaded the visiting keeper.
On 62 minutes, Ravenshead pulled a goal back from close range, but from the Kirton kick off, they pushed forward and made it 5-1.
The fun then began when Kirton was awarded a penalty to which the Ravenshead keeper put his foot out in the corner to push it away.
Kirton kept going forward, the visitors to begin to tire in the blazing sunshine, In the 72nd minute Kirton increased their lead to 6-1. With 9 minutes left Ravenshead broke away and the low shot ended up in the net.
In the 83rd minute, Kirton got another penalty, with keeper stood still, the penalty taker went for the corner to narrowly miss.
In the 84th minute, Kirton put the nail in the coffin making it 7-2.
After the match, it was really nice to see two good respectable clubs go back to the pub and have a drink and food together.
