Telford Fans 10 Culina 1 Venue: Lilleshall Sports Centre Date:
28/08/05 Kick
Off: 8.00 pm
AFCTU fans
continued their good run of form with their biggest win to date over
Culina on the astroturf at Lilleshall Sports Centre. The
scoreline itself flatters the fans team somewhat as possession was
fairly even throughout but Telfords better attacking play and
clinical finishing ensured a comfortable win for the team. Telford
started well with Matty Dickinsons long throw ins causing the Culina
defence a host of problems. Right Back Greg Paul came close early on
after getting his head to a couple of the long throws. The goals
soon came and Telford clocked up 6 by half time with no response
from the Culina team. Both Mike Nadal and Gary Spragg scored goals
off attempted crosses, whilst veteran fans team goal poacher Chris
Wilson scored twice to continue his good run of form. Richard Manns
and Matty Dickinson were the other scorers for the team.

Despite Jonah's team talk stating
that the scoreline was an unfair reflection of the game, the fans
team started the second half poorly and conceded a goal within the
first 5 minutes of the half after a defensive mix up. The fans team
reacted well to this though scoring the goal of the
game moments later after good interplay between Spragg and
Manns resulted in a wonderful headed goal for hat trick hero Chris
Wilson. Telford then cruised home to victory with 2 more goals from
Manns to grab a hat trick for himself and another goal for Matty
Dickinson. Its fair to say Telford were helped considerably by a
very dodgy Culina goalkeeper who contributed towards at least 4 of
the Telford goals, but overall it was another satisfying performance
from the fans team. Rob Hughes, in nets, had a commanding
performance even managing to flatten central defender Dave Pearson
when coming to claim a cross. Greg Paul, who was replaced by the
impressive Ian Dawes after 55 minutes, had a solid game rarely
putting a foot wrong, whilst the other full back Dave Corbett put in
another good performance getting forward at every opportunity.
Centre backs Pearson and Catling put in another strong performance
despite the odd nervous moment. Telfords midfield was again
impressive, however at times there was a large gap left between the
midfield and defensive. Lee McNally put in a decent 55 minutes
despite his leg injury, whilst Groves and Windsor continued their
impressive central midfield pairing. Nadal, Dickinson and Spragg all
put in decent attacking performances whilst the central forward
pairing of Manns and Wilson each grabbed a hat trick.
