DC Steamers 7 Sportsman 2
The boys came back from the festive period and without a match for
a month and banged 7 goals past our old rivals, Sportsman. The visitots
took the lead early on the first half, only for Duncan Glen to level the
game at 1-1 with a blistering shot from 6 yards out which went in off the
post. Chris Taylor then hit the crossbar with a fine shot after beating
two defenders. Steve Bell then made the score 2-1 in favour of the Steamers
when he pounced on bad some bad defending. With an injury to Ray Townsend,
Andy Holt replaced him and the formation was changed to 5-3-2 at the start
of the second half. The pressure was then piled on and the goals started
to flow in. Jenson Langford weighed in with two well placed shots before
Paul Allen blasted one home from the edge of the area. Steve Danby then
thundered one in after a great break by Jenson Langford and a cross field
pass to Steve. Jenson then rapped up his hatrick from the penalty spot
after a handball. The starting lineup was as follows: Nick Smith; Wayne
Makepeace, Paul Allen, Ray Townsend, Duncan Glen; Richard Jordan, Chris
Taylor, Steve Danby, Mickey Sheehan; Jenson Langford, Steve Bell. Subs:
Andy Holt for Ray Townsend, Rory O'Neill for Richard Jodan, Stuart Brown
for Mickey Sheehan.

ECMWF 1 DC Steamers 3
DC won their third successive match and maintained their 100% record
this millenium. This week we were without a few first team regulars, Ray,
Jenson and Andy Holt couldn't make it, Paul Allen went to watch Man City
and Wayne..well we do not know what happened to him. This meant Neil Wilson
had to be brought out of retirement (which he announced last week) and
we welcomed back Tony Dempster from injury. The home team scored early
on in the first half although eye winesses claim the player was offside
when the ball was played. Steve Bell then levelled the scores when he chipped
the keeper from just inside the area. Rory O'Neill then put the Steamers
up when Richard Jordan put a ball through the defence as Chris Taylor was
running back. This caused confusion amongst the defenders as they all stopped
expecting an offside flag, Rory burst through though and knocked it past
the keeper. Steve Danby finally rapped up the scoring and the match when
his long range drive found the top corner of the net. Unfortunately for
Richard Jordan though, he had to be carried off after a challenge and was
replaced by Jason Knight. The second half did not produce anything to write
about apart from the failed attempts on goal from the Steamers. The starting
lineup was as follows: Tony Dempster; Chris Taylor, Neil Wilson, Duncan
Glen, Stuart Brown, Mickey Sheehan; Steve Danby, Nick Smith, Richard Jordan;
Rory O'Neill, Steve Bell. Subs: Jason Knight for Richard Jordan.
