On a blistering hot
October day, Pegasus made it three wins on the bounce against an always
difficult to beat Harpole side.
With a couple of call
offs on Saturday morning, and Steven Ennis carrying a knock Derek made changes
to the side that progressed to the Second Round of the NFA Junior Cup the week
before.
Ryan Hill was
re-called to the starting line-up after his weeks holiday at S and L and Mark
Sinclair also made the first 11 after being unable to travel the 50 miles with
the Reserves due to the impending birth of his latest child - all the best to
you and your family Mark. We hope all goes well!!
Anyway, the game
started and neither side, probably due to the heat, was creating much, but after
18 minutes, Pegasus duly took the lead. A well worked move down the left ending
with Lewis Good scoring with a fine shot across the Harpole keeper and into the
far corner.
Things were very tight
after that with not a great deal happening, but in the 25th minute both sides
were reduced to 10 men when Hill was tackled strongly by a Harpole midfielder,
reacted aggressively and the Referee sent both players off. Personally, as early
in the game as that I think a yellow for both would have been sufficient.
The second half
produced few chances with harpole perhaps creating more, but with the Pegasus
M.O.M. Chris Burr and keeper Craig McShannon in solid form and Paul Simpson
working tirelessly up front on his own, Pegasus held out for their second clean
sheet in a row and a most welcome win against difficult opposition.
