Redhill Albion vs Junior Sports 18/04/10

Both sides had good possession in the opening minutes and after 5 minutes Junior Sports took the lead when a through ball was picked up inside the box and fired into the net.

It took Redhill 10 minutes to get into the game when an individual effort by Senior almost led to a goal.

Good pressure from Williams created a chance for Stevens on the left.

In the 14^th minute Meldrum and Senior worked the ball to give Stevens another opportunity and 1 minute later Stevens went close again picking up a long ball. The ball came out to Appleby whose shot grazed the post.

In the 16^th minute O’Donovan hit a cross from the right wing which almost floated into the net and 1 minute later O’Donovan headed over the bar after connecting with a cross from Stevens.

In the 18^th minute Senior hit a superb through ball to beat the Junior sports defence but it was just too far ahead of O’Donovan.

Redhill kept the pressure on Junior Sports and just before half-time O’Donovan headed over from a Senior cross but at half-time the score remained 0-1.

Within 30 seconds of the restart Redhill were level when “lad of the match” Senior passed to O’Donovan who played a one two with Smart and drilled the ball into the net.

O’Donovan and Smart were combining well on the right creating problems for the Junior Sports defence but could not add to the Redhill tally.

A break away by Junior Sports in the 4^th minute looked like a certain goal until Senior who was tracking back made a saving tackle and was injured in the process.

2 minutes later Sowton took a ball full in the face and was replaced by Appleby.

Junior Sports were getting back on the offensive and Lewer was working well at the back.

After 10 minutes Senior, O’Donovan and Smart created another opportunity only to see Smart’s powerful shot blocked by a junior Sports defender.

Hickman worked a good position down the left flank to create a chance for Smart who shot wide.

Junior Sports continued to pose a threat on the break but Lewer and Meldrum were solid at the back and making sure Case-Green was not troubled..

After 40 minutes O’Donovan played a great through ball to Williams who was unlucky not to score.

After 43 minutes Hickman made an important tackle to win the ball and passed it to Senior who went close.

Redhill looked the more likely to get a second goal but it was not to be and the game ended a draw

Final Score: Redhill Albion 1 (O’Donovan) Junior Sports 1
