Match Report
Sunday 27/4/8 10:30 Athletico UG Athletico UG 11 (3) vs (1) 2 Rhyno Athletic (Division 2) Paul Saunders (4) Ian Gilder's throughball to Paul Saunders galloping down the right gave Rhyno a surprise lead on 4 minutes. Athletico (24) Ben Crichton proved he is no keeper by trying to trap a hard shot from 25 yards and being unable to. Athletico (39) Graeme Tucker's mis-kick saw girlie striker go through and round Crichton to give UG the lead. Athletico (44 Pen) Given for handball against Jason Cooper, game put beyond Rhyno. Athletico (48) Alan Clarke hasn't improved his goalkeeping skills since pre-season and let one float over his head. Athletico (56) Alan Clarke's fault. Athletico (57) - Passenger's mistake. Athletico (72) - New Keeper Ian Gilder also proved inept. Athletico (76) Probably Gilly's fault. Neil Tillotson (77) Jason Cooper's swung ball from right to left saw Neil Tillotson score Rhynos last ever goal with a sweeping finish into far corner. Athletico (83) Pushing all 11 men up on corners isn't recommend, especially if chance falls to Paul Vella. Athletico (86) Gilly's fault. Athletico (88) Gilly proved the worse of three keepers with poor covering of near post. Summary The drawn out the hat teams for both hats cost Rhyno dearly, but we laughed at each other expense, from Clarke's left back performance to Tilly being twice drawn at Centre back, Walker's clearances, Grey's hold up play with his face, Vella's dangerous darts and Husss sweeping. Gilly will claim he wasn't the worst of the three keepers as we played last 20 minutes with four centre forwards and he was exposed, but he let in the most in the shortest time and must take responsibly. The Rhyno has been put out of it's misery with a thumping, mostly self-inflicted, first half was as competitive as playing your centre forward left back and playmaker in goal is going to make a game. 2nd half was a farce. Good luck and Good night.
