Gulval Res 4 - 1 St Ives Mariners
Scorers: Jamie Harrison 2, Anthony Nicholas 2
Gulval looked to continue their recent good form with a rare home fixture against a dogged mariners side.Mariners started the game the with a real taste for victory, dictating play and hounding us in posession. It was not long before Ben Reeve in the Gulval goal made a double save from a 1 on 1 situation, real top drawer goalkeeping. Mariners pushed, and on about 10 mins struck gold, another 1 on 1, Bender saving again only for a player to poke in the rebound. Gulvals performance was really lack luster,until a hopeful punt forward was flicked on for J Harrison to latch on to it and calmly place it past the on coming keeper. Gulval started to get to grip with the task in hand, gradually taking a hold of the game.
1-1 H/T
As the second half got under way, mariners came at us again,creating a chance early on that went over the bar. This gave us the kick up the back side we needed, a goal by Ant Nichollas and another by J Harrison put the game beyond Mariners, but to their credit they kept battling to the end.Ant Nichollas capped off a good display with a cracking 30 yard drive. Both keepers had cracking games today, both teams tried to play football on a difficult pitch. Not one dirty tackle all game, well done to both teams!!
Well reffed,mariners are a cracking bunch of lads, good luck for rest of season
