Despite walking away with the 3 points, Bulmershe realised they'd been given a
game. DC welcomed back Kevin and Simon as Duncan and Jordy dropped to the bench.
Both teams started well but it was DC who took the lead early in the first half
when Jensen controlled a diagonal cross and drove the ball into the far corner.
Bulmershe responded quickly and produced a couple of decent chances but could
not convert them. They did eventually get back on level terms as Chris Taylor
ended Darren's 270 minute shut-out with a crisp left foot volley. He could not
do much about it. Bulmershe came out in the second half and took the lead with a
well taken goal from an acute angle before Simon shrugged off two challenges and
guided the ball past the Old Boys keeper. Although no sooner had the
celebrations quietened, Bulmershe beat the offside trap and scored the winner
with twenty minutes to go. Jordy replaced Jensen whilst Duncan came on for Ross
as DC took the game to Bulmershe. Howard and Kevin surged forward from the back
in search of a late equaliser. In the end despite the disappointing defeat, DC
took some encouragement awat from this game.
The starting line-up was as
follows: Darren Holder, Chris Taylor, Howard Cooke, Kevin Pitkin, Steve
Danby, Nick Smith, Steve Bell, Richard Scaldwell, Ross Newman, Jensen Langford,
Simon Langthorne |
