LRBC 4-1 CITY EVANGELICAL
LRBC BATTLE TO COMFORTABLE WIN IN WORLD CUP TEMPERATURES
Despite the sweltering weather both sides battled hard and only late second half goals enabled LRBC to pull away and in the end win comfortably. Joe Wilson's early strike had seperated the sides for nearly an hour before Adam Tobin notched LRBC's second goal on the hour mark. Ed Jackson's late double either side of City's goal-of-the-game consolation completed the scoring
LRBC's defence stood up admirably to the hot conditions with Duncan Brownnutt and Carl Murgatroyd forming an effective partnership in central defence. Both lasted the full match with Murgatroyd showing just why he was runner-up in the club's recent Most Improved Player awards. Arash also made an assured debut at left-back, while Brownnutt's aerial dominance was impressive.
City's inexperience showed with each of the first two goals. The City 'keeper handling a back pass and conceding a free-kick for the first, neatly tucked away by Joe Wilson from David Turner's lay-off. A defensive mix-up and failure to clear allowed Adam Tobin to side-foot over the 'keeper for the second, the striker scoring on his debut for the team. Ed Jackson then added two trademark goals surging away from the City back four to slot calmly home, and was only denied a hat-trick when his 20 yarder crashed back off the bar.
