AFC Wulfrunians v Causeway Utd
Wulfrunians lost their unbeaten home record
to a thoroughly organised Causeway side who, it has to be said, from
this viewers eyes, were not seriously troubled. The visitors were all
the home side were not, ie, precise, efficient and controlled. Make
no mistake, this was a notably under-par Wulfs performance based on
their own very high standards. They were never allowed to gather any
momentum by an impressive Causeway defence and were themselves guilty
of far too many misplaced passes. Regular readers of this blog will
note I rarely criticize referees but it has to be said the home side
were not helped by this over-zealous official.
Wulfs' best hopes seemed to come from
their wingmen who were getting the crosses in but not seeing them
converted. Again, credit must be given to the visitors' defence –
especially the goalkeeper who missed very little, in being in the
right place at the right time.
Half-time ; AFC Wulfrunians 0 Causeway
Utd 0
Wulfs started the second half
determined to right all the wrongs from the first half and to be
fair, went close on a few occasions with some decent crosses but as
before, these were not converted.
The feeling was the first goal would
settle it and this did not arrive until the 90th minute
and unfortunately for Wulfrunians it was scored by the visitors with
a sublime overhead kick. The home side threw everything bar the
kitchen sink at the visiting defence but they stood firm and as is
the way when chasing a game, Causeway broke quickly from defence into
a two on one attacking situation and a neat side-foot into an empty net won it
for them in the 93rd minute.
