Match Report
With Halloween approaching, Croft Vets came back from the dead following a spirted first half display by Ramblers.
A frightening wind whistled around the cauldron that is the Edge Hill 4G Facility as the teams took to the pitch on Saturday. Lesser mortals would have stayed at home; the 3s faced their demons. Slick passing from Traynor and Ben gave the opposition some early scares. Meanwhile, devilishly strong central midfield and defensive units snuffed out any Croft attacks: Damo and Greg with the monster tackles. An early injury to Theo saw us down to the bare bones. Unperturbed, the midfield 3 bewitched their opposite numbers and Lloyd conjured up 2 fiendish finishes. Ramblers 2 to the good at half time.
Croft proved a trickier proposition in the second half. Ramblers struggled to recreate the attacking treats of the first period and the man in black got his teeth into the midfield. There was no defensive horror show but Croft grabbed a life line. Reanimated by the goal the Vets pushed forwards. With the seconds ticking away their left winger ghosted through the Ramblers’ defence to equalise with the last kick of the game. 2 points dropped but the 3s live to fight another day.
