On 26m a poor clearance from goalkeeper Phil Harrison was pounced on by Hindsford, but Blackbrook equalised on 28m with an own goal from a good Adam Gilchrist corner. | |||||
Blackbrook took the lead on 30m when a rocket-like shot from Liam Philpott was brilliantly saved by the Hindsford 'keeper only for Gareth Thomas to hammer home the rebound. On 32m a long powerful run by Gareth Thomas ended when Hindsford again scored an own goal. | |||||
Early in the second half it seemed only a matter of time before Blackbrook extended their lead but on 65m Hindsford pulled one back unexpectedly. | |||||
This spurred them on until the end of the match they dominated play, equalising on 75m following a corner. In this period Blackbrook made too many bad clearances passes by the defence consequently lost two valuable points. Liam Philpott was Blackbrook's most effective performer overall. |
