Re: Three Bridges 1 Terrors 4

Well, we were on top for most of the game.  Their goal was a long shot which the keeper should have done better with.  But we came back strongly and Williams cut inside from the right and struck a left foot shot past the keeper.  The second was an old fashioned corner which was flicked on at the near post by Hartburn, and headed home by Dalhouse, who has now doubled his brother's tally.  We were a bit shaky at the start of the 2nd half but goy our act together and Quarm struck a beautiful left footer from the edge of the box.  Pinnock sealed the victory with a well placed shot from the corner of the box.

A much better show than Sittingbourne.  We played at a higher tempo and our passing was mostly pretty good, although we did give the ball away a bit too much.  Luckily Three Bridges were unable to punish us.  And some poor decision making in the final third may have cost us a few chances.  But you can't complaing about a 4 goal haul.

Dalhouse was probably my choice as man of the match as he won every header and tackle.  Quarm also had a good game and was all over the midfield.  A very satisfactory evening - but can we maintain the tempo?

Three Bridges v Tooting & Mitcham
Tuesday 24th September 2013
Ryman League – Division 1 South
  
After the disappointment of a lacklustre display against lowly Sittingbourne (who could not even score at home against Corinthian Casuals last night) manager Craig Tanner made 3 changes, dropping Wilson, Palmer and Nkoma from the starting line up to be replaced by Dalhouse, Gordon and Williams.
 
Gareth Williams continued to help out in goal with Smith still troubled by the knee injury sustained in his outfield challenge against Ramsgate.
 
Although the Terrors started quite brightly it was only 8 minutes before they went behind when Bridges captain CARENY released a fiercely struck shot from well outside the box that Williams got a good hand to but could not tip over. 
 
Not the desired start but thankfully we equalised within a minute when Sawyer displayed his usual great control of a ball down the left hand channel before playing it back across the box to WILLIAMS. He cut inside and curled a low shot to the left hand corner.
 
Hartburn, playing at full back, then threaded down the right side the first of 3 or 4 good passes he would play during the evening but the chance came to nothing.
 
Quarm played on a commanding defensive header from Cheadle that put through Pinnock for what looked like a certain goal but the defender just managed to touch the ball away.
 
On 30mins Wedgeworth was booked for a late challenge around half way.  And Bridge were forced to replace full back Leach who had not recovered from an earlier challenge by Quarm.
 
Tooting looked strong with the midfield of Quarm & Allimi battling hard for supremacy against the excellent Careny and trying to set Williams away wide.
And that pressure resulted in a 37min corner nodded on by Hartburn at the near post for DALHOUSE to nod in centrally.
 
Pinnock had another chance from a long Cheadle pass but shot tamely.
And the half finished with the Zebra clad entertained by a dramatic swallow dive from Batalidis which amazingly escaped punishment from referee Foster because, he advised the Terrors management, Gordon had been let off earlier for a similar effort.
 
Half Time       1 - 2
     
Before the restart Bridges made a bold double substitution, only one of which appeared injury related. This was to cost them dearly later.
And Tooting replaced the unwell Wedgeworth with Palmer.
 
Early in the half Allimi played on a ball out of defence wide left to Sawyer who drove inside, got clear and shot……..over!!!!!!
 
From here Three Bridges started to struggle with the strength of our defence, fierce tackling in midfield and pace down the flanks. And the result was a 63rd min goal from QUARM who lashed a shot from outside the box after more good work by Sawyer.
 
The Three Bridges challenge really evaporated in the last quarter when Careny was caught by a challenge from Quarm that earned him a booking.
Sadly Carney was too badly hurt to continue but did find time before leaving the field to seek a little retribution that earned him a booking, although wrongly choosing Allimi as his target.
With all subs already used this left Bridge 2 goals down and now with only 10 men.
 
Palmer then won the ball in the middle and set Sawyer free. Surely this would be his opportunity to join the goal fest.  He dragged the ball right and let fly – saved!
 
More fierce contesting in the 82min saw PINNOCK presented with the ball in the right corner of the box. Would he take the defender on, go down the line or come inside and shoot?
He did none of these. Simply drew his foot back and curled a shoot in to the far corner.
 
Just time left for Quarm to shoot over when completely free in the middle.
 
A good win with some quality goals. Just as importantly, back to our high pace, energetic, pressing performance with a number of players striving to show they deserve a starting spot.
