It was a tight first half but felt we were the better team and deserved to go into half-time at least 1 or 2 up with Andrew and Francis going desperately close; it was looking like it was going to be one of those days.
That theme continued into the second half when they scored with their first clear cut chance putting us 1-0 down but we responded straight from the kick off with a brilliant team goal converted by Pacey. Despite some more great football we could not get ourselves in front and 1-1 was looking like the most likely outcome, until Matt made one of his surging runs down the right wing and scored an amazing long range shot from an acute angle.
With over 30 mins of the 2nd half played the final whistle just didn't come with the referee clearly adding on time to give Tiverton a chance to equalise but this backfired as Euan scored a close range shot to put us 3-1 up. Surely the referee was going to end the game now but no…. the game continued and Tiverton got one back. Surely the whistle would blow at kick off, as we are now at least 5 minutes over time, wrong……. play continued on and there were some nervy moments until eventually the ref finally admitted defeat.
There were so many stand out performances it's very hard to pick one person out but Joe and I have decided to award the captains armband to Andrew for his best game in a Central shirt and showing great attitude - good stuff Andrew!
Look forward to seeing you all on Monday at training. Please note that lower Barrack Rd will be closed.
By the way, that's 3 wins out of last 4 games now chaps which shoots us a few places up the table - now that's progress!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
