Haddenham Rovers vs Pymoor Park Rangers
The Mighty Haddenham Rovers go marching on!! Unbeaten in a league fixture since being established two years ago.
The first 45 was rather frustrating. Lacking in final quality, saw several chances go begging. Some quality link up play between Ben Marshall, Luke Mansfield and George Rayner saw the Pymoor back four doing shuttle runs, but we couldn’t find that finishing touch. We just truly thought, would it be one of those days??
Pymoor didn’t really create much going forward due to excellent defending from John Falconer, Jordan Emms, Shaun Eldridge and Harry Tietz sweeping up anything they had to offer, gave our keeper Tom Upshaw very little to do.
We dictated the play in the middle of the park, Joe Murfitt and Ben Harnwell orchestrating some decent moves together but nothing come of it.
Half Time – Haddenham Rovers 0 – Pymoor Park Rangers 0
After a relaxed halt time team talk from Manager Eddie New, basically emphasising that “we haven’t played together in almost four months and we are very much on top of the game. Do not get frustrated!!”.
The second half saw Rovers shift up the gears and compose some very fluid passing moves. Scoring two disallowed goals, which arguably should have been given. It was a matter of, “The goal is coming”.
The defence were once again solid as ever. Winning every 50/50, picking up the second and third balls. Setting the standard to echo through the pitch.
All we needed was someone to step up and have that little bit of magic. Substitute Joe Robinson came on and brought more positiveness to our passing and threaded through a perfect ball to Mansfield. He took it around his man and got wiped out inside the box. Referee gives the Penalty with five minutes left.
Haddenham slotted the penalty away passed Evan Jeckells and got the goal they thoroughly deserved!!! Goal scorer Charlie Tunnell
From this goal, it was very much game management and keeping the ball in the corner until the time was up. The final whistle blew and the mighty NarmyArmy go marching on.
