Despite Losing Bedworth remain second.

On a very wet miserable night, with the ball skidding, stuck in mud and some times not bouncing, both teams created no chances for the first 15 mins. Trying to get to grips with the conditions, only 1 corner each in the first 25 mins, but to their credit both teams trying to play good football.

The nearest we got then was a break down the right, good cross, a turn and a shot on target by Mark Withers, who hits the bar. Another attack saw Alex Platt shoot and a very good save from the keeper at full stretch pushes it for a corner. On the counter they broke down our left, a good cross a shot on the turn by their forward hit the foot of our post in the last minutes of the first half.

Half Time 0 - 0

From the kick off it was all Bedworth possession, Alex Platt in the box turned and his shot hit the post. Two good saves from their keeper one pushed on to the bar, then one cleared. We then put the ball in the net, but it was disallowed for offside. The game then opened up with end to end play. Then after about 20 mins after lots of Bedworth pressure, they broke down the middle some good passing and their forward scored. 0-1.

Then a good through ball gets Alex through, one on one with their keeper but the ball hits the foot of the post and is cleared. Bedworth seemed at times to be camped in their half but couldn’t find a way through. Ringing in the changes, Sam Bircher on for Arron Troop and Kyle Baxter on for Aron Formaston.
Alex Platt on the edge of the box beats 3 men a good shot, well saved.

Then as Bedworth pushed on for the equalizer, the sucker punch, a quick ball over the top of our defence, forward runs on to it shoots 0-2.
In the dying minutes Bedworth get a penalty for handball, Mathew Lee takes it but hits the bar and over like the game.

On reflection it was just not our night, hit the bar 3 times, hit the post 3 times, scored but offside and some great goal keeping, all in the wind, the rain and the mud. Bad luck lads, it was just not to be, overall we had most of the chances and the play but couldn’t get the goals.
