Kendal Town 1-1 AFC Telford United
Unlike the Boxing Day draw against Hednesford a draw was a fair result and unlike last time we got to wear the blue kit it wasn't like the 5-0 walkover at Ashton, both teams battled hard and neither team could have fairly walked away with nothing. Telford went into the game with 4 keys players rested for the New Years Day showdown with Hednesford, Top Scorer Steve Foster, Captain Steve Palmer, Wingback Lee Vaughan and Centre-back Indy Khela. With other Wingback Dean Craven starting on the bench, this 5th one being more of a tactical decision I'm guessing with the weather and pitch being more suited to a player such as Richard Beale.
With a very heavy pitch and a downpour of rain it was never going to be a pretty game, with players slipping and sliding left, right and centre. The ref was inconsistent in what he did when this happened, from waving play on to booking players for incidents you'd expect on such a wet pitch. The biggest mistake however being for a filthy 2-footed lunge by their player on wingback ben Twigger, how this didn't merit a red card is beyond me.
Telford started the more attacking side but Kendal grew into the game as time went on, kendal took the lead on 17 minutes with a screamer from a long way out courtesy of Paul Sparrow. Brockie seemed to have frozen uncharacteristically between the posts as the ball flew past. Telford slowly began to get into the game a bit more and on 38 minutes after some good passing Lee Moore grabbed the equaliser for Telford.
The second half came and the rain got heavier, the pitch had become mud in some parts and the football wasn't getting much better, it was always going to be a physical battle rather than a well played skillfull game. Nevertheless both teams were determined to grab a second goal and the end to end attacking meant we still had a good exciting game of football to watch. Kendal's number 12 was particularly dangerous, giving the otherwise solid Telford defence a few problems. Up front for telford Justin Marsden had a fair few good shots while substitute striker Tyrone Barnett missed from a good postion while Dean Craven, brought on in a centre mindfield role as opposed to his usual left wingback position had a good shot saved. In the defence Andy Jones, who was in the team in place of Khela had a good game and won everything in the air. Both teams attacked right until the final whistle but it remained a stalemate at 1-1.
Final Score: KTFC 1-1 AFCTU
MotM - 9.Justin Marsden
Followed by - 6.Andy Jones

Most bizarre postponement I've ever seen. We had a lot of rain the night, but our pitch drains very well and the morning was dry, sunny and windy, perfect conditions.
At 5 to 3 all was well, then the most vicious rain storm I've ever seen occured. Rushed from the bar, into the ground, watched the pitch turn into a lake in a matter of seconds, game postponed at a couple of minutes to 3, back in the bar by 3!

Hello again, Tinpotters!  I want to tell you about a VERY EXCITING football match I saw yesterday between Sut-termite-ed and Bug-gnaw Reed-juice. Not much happened in this game before the ant-erval. But then Sut-termite-ed scored a goal. Then they scored another one! Then Bug-gnaw scored. Then, right at the end, they scored again!! But there was just enough time for Sut-termite-ed to score a third goal and win the game! I think you will agree that this game was more exciting than some others, such as the one between Eats-drum Burrow and Eats-lice. In that match there weren't any goals at all! Imagine that! Boring! ;D ;D I have now seen Sut-termite-ed play three times, and they have won every time. So maybe I am a lucky mascot! Also, yesterday I met a very nice lady called Kellyfish. She lent me her scarf becuase it was cold and wet. When Sut-termite-ed scored their winning goal, she hugged and kissed me.  I like Kellyfish! Tomorrow I'm hoping to see another match at a place called Farm-burrow. I am told that there are termite mounds on the pitch there, so maybe I will have a snack in the ant-erval.  Happy New Year to everyone! Bye!! |

No! Can't be.
We would not have won the other games had that been the case! ;D
