THORPE VOLLEY EARNS POINT FOR LRBC
Gareth Carey Jones reports
Another battling performance from LRBC secured another point thanks to Anthony Thorpe�s impressive left-foot volley from 18 yards mid-way through the first half. As with last week, LRBC were pegged back before half time, and in truth were on the back foot for the majority of the game. However, they�ll be encourage by avoiding defeat against a supposedly �better� team for two weeks in a row, and the squad are beginning to believe they belong at this level.
�Keeper Mark Frater was included in the LRBC starting line-up despite the impressive performance of stand-in Elliot Johnson last week. And although he will be disappointed not to have claimed the ball in the scramble that led to Chapel A�s equaliser, Frater continued his impressive form of last season, with one particularly fine save late on from his own mis-hit goal kick. Adam Tobin�s late introduction for LRBC led to one last gasp chance to steal the points when the striker found himself unmarked in the penalty area, but the Chapel keeper stood up well to parry the shot. In truth LRBC�s other chances were few and far between, with Ed Jackson�s first half header being their only other noteworthy attempt.
Midfielder Steve Robinson continued his impressive form in midfield to justifiably claim the Man of the Match award, and Jonny Hoy put in an assured and powerful performance at right-back. As ever, LRBC battled hard to the end and if a little extra passing quality can be added and the effort levels can be maintained throughout the season, there�s every chance LRBC could challenge for a place in the top half of the table.
LRBC Team: M Frater, J Hoy, A Amindoust (N Karimi 70), T Thomson, D Brownnutt, S Robinson, A Thorpe (D Turner 75), J Wilson, E Jackson, G Carey Jones (A Tobin 75), J Jarvis.
