THE BRIDGE AND THE BROOK SERVE OUT A DRAW

 SOUTH WEST PENINSULA LEAGUE: PREMIER DIVISION

WADEBRIDGE TOWN 1 MILLBROOK 1

 

Att: 64

A great welcome back to Wadebridge Town Secretary Andy Ould and all the committee at this friendly club, pity for those that stayed at home to watch the England match, when they could have seen a very competitive match here.

WE sat in the clubhouse and they allowed me to put the charity bucket in aid of Scottys Little Soldiers on the bar and may we thank everyone as we raised £10.05p making the running total to £895.06p.

The food on offer was sausage rolls and cheeseburgers, me and Hazel had both as we hadnt eaten since the mid lunch time and the food was excellent.

A very large clubhouse with ample space, it was nearly time for kick off, so up into the seated stand along the halfway line, where I joined Andy, the stand overlooks the pitch and gives a great view, there is also a stand behind the goal.

The game kicked off and each teams had chances, the visiting keeper pulling out adiving save in the first minute. The game seemed to flow but with visitors having more of the ball, then a crazy 5 minutes saw a red card for one of the home players and then things went to worse for them after 28 minutes, when the referee pointed to the penalty , up stepped WILL LARSON to plant the visitors in front.

The game began to fire up with both sides putting tackles and the referee had to be on top of his game.

The Second Half saw another red card but this time to the visitors to even up the numbers on the pitch to 10 a piece.

The homesters pushed forward but only with man up front and visitors were hoping to hang on for only their second win this season.

With all subs made, on 82 minutes, a cotner drifted in from the right side, saw ED BOWERS raise up first for Town to see his header hit the underside of the crossbar and drop in to even up the scores.

A  good night out from Hayle on our holiday and of course I wont leave it another 16 years before I visited again.
