Evo Stick South Division
BASFORD UNITED FC 2 STAMFORD AFC 1
Att: 241
Always enjoyable when I visit Greenwich Avenue and this occasion was no different, as I was meeting my old mate and Director of Stamford AFC Dave Salisbury as it is 8 years since we last met up.
On arrival at the ground, I had a chat with Pete Chappell and was soon joined by Nigel Tasker, as we nattered about football in general. Malc Storer then popped in to quickly hand me a programme that I had asked him to pick up for me some time ago, many thanks Malc, I have chucked the quid in to the charity total
The game kicked off and Basford were straight on the attack and it came as no surprise when LIAM HEARN fired home the first goal of the night after just 12 minutes. Basford pushed forward to try and double their lead and went close several times, but in the 38th minute, they were pegged back on level terms, when Stamford;s captain JON CHALLINOR sweetly struck a low shot from outside the box to make it 1-1.
After a cuppa and half time break, it was Stamford who created a couple of chances of their own and United;s keeper Deeney had to be at his best on the hour when he finger tipped a chance away.
The game then opened up with both sides spurning chances until the 78th minute, when JAMES REID hit a stunning half volley from 30 yards out to give the homesters the three vital points as they now opened up a 13 point gap at the top of the table.
The 3 officials also had a very good match.
