Dyce BC 2 - 2 Cove BC Saturday 6th September 2008 at Pitmedden Road Great Northern Trophies League A
The first home game of the season at
Pitmedden Road against old rivals Cove BC.
Dyce started the game against the
wind and struggled to gain the upper hand, especially in
midfield. However in 12 minutes Dyce won a free kick just
outside the box and Galley scored his first goal
for the club when he placed a left foot shot past the keeper.
1-0. Ten minutes later Dyce completed their first task from the
"Poor Defending Manual". Dyce had been warned about the danger
from Cove's long throw ins and did not attack the ball. Cove
headed on the throw in into the goalmouth and probably the
smallest Cove player, unchallenged, headed into the net for the
equaliser. 1-1. Dyce then carried out their second task from the
"Poor Defending Manual". A long Cove clearance was not shielded
over the Dyce goal line properly and the pressing Cove forward
was allowed to hook it from the line into the net for a wind
assisted goal.
1-2. Half time.
Dyce needed to up the tempo, start
winning the first and second ball both at the back and in
midfield. Halfway through the second half, Callum Smith broke
down the right and was brought down in the box as he bore down
on goal. Hunter stepped up to calmly slot
the penalty past the right side of the keeper for his first goal
of the season. 2-2. Dyce huffed and puffed for the rest of the
half but were unconvincing and only produced a couple of shots
near the goal. I'm sure the Cove keeper hadn't a single save to
make.
Full time 2-2.
A very poor game where the Cove
midfield were allowed to play the ball about without any serious
pressure from Dyce and the quality of the passing when the ball
was won, only reached nearly good on sporadic occasions.
