March 30 2008

Surrey Saints 4 Reigatians 5 

A crunch game and we were 1-0 down within 3 minutes.  Attacking well on a bog of a pitch Tomlinson had the chance to equalise with a free header but failed to connect.  Reigatians were back in the game when the referee awarded a penalty following a corner - no foul could be seen from the stands but Spearing D cooly slotted home to equalise.  Saints looked dangerous on the attack and were back in the lead when from a corner an unmarked striker headed home.  Reigatians were awarded a second penalty when Williams was brought down on the edge of the box and again Dean Spearing fired home.  A couple of minutes before half time Tomlinson made up for his earlier miss and rifled home from 25 yards.   On the stroke of half time Saints were denied a certain equaliser when Lavery slid and cleared off the line.  Lavery sustained a nasty gash to the knee and had to be replaced at half time.

A strange half time, as the ref decided the pitch had become unplayable (which was true) and decided the nets should be moved to a different pitch for the second half.

Soon after the restart Tomlinson made it 4-2 but Saints came back again and at 4-3 it was anyones game.  Move of the match as Williams headed a cross down into the path of Davis who swept home - 5-3.  It wasnt over though, 2 minutes to go and Saints scored again and then from a corner it looked like the equaliser was on its way in till Lawrence grabbed the ball.

Great victory!
