| A vastly improved performance was given by DC this
morning as they fought from 2-0 down to even it up at 2-2 before they
succumbed to some crap refereeing and two late goals. The Steamers packed
their midfield leaving Danny alone up front and this ploy worked well as DC
had a lot of the play in the first half. It wasn't until they conceded a
corner in the 44th minute that Woodlands had their first real effort and
scored from it. The team were still positive when they came out for the second
half but went 2-0 down again from a corner leaving their left midfielder (who,
for the record was having a shite game) to out-jump his marker to score.
Steamers battled on and were eventually awarded a free-kick just outside the
area. Step up Steve Danby !! Goal !!! There was a deflection somewhere en
route and the linesman stuck his flag up. After consultation with the
linesman, the ref awarded the goal. DC were back in it; and were soon on level
terms when Steve Danby put over a corner only for it to be headed into his own
net by a Woodlands player Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink style. This scoreline didn't
last long as Woodlands went straight up DC's end, and, despite Rory flagging
and the Woodlands player being yards offside, the ref played on and allowed
the striker to make the score 3-2 in favour of the home side. DC then threw
the kitchen sink at Woodlands, Even Darren came up for a corner leaving the
most defensive Steamers player on the centre circle in the opposition half.
Nothing came of the corner and Woodlands went up and scored a fourth in the
dying minutes. The Steamers played well and ref was crap. The
starting lineup was as follows: Darren Holder, Howard Cooke, Mark Jarman, Andy
Holt, Steve Danby, Chris Taylor, Richard Scaldwell, Steve Bell, Jensen
Langford, Nick Smith, Danny Feasey
