Dyce BC  7 - 4  Sheddocksley 

Sunday 27th January,  2008

Webster Park

 

On a mild January day Dyce BC took to the field looking forward to their first game of 2008 against a team they knew were going to give them a tough game. Dyce were able to send out a full strength team and gladly welcomed Angus Burrows back from injury.

 

The game started at a good pace with all players keen to get back to playing football again, in the first minute Dyce made the most of the early possession from the back when Ben passed the ball forward to Calum who controlled the ball played it to Ryan who returned the ball, Calum then moved forward before sending in a great cross to the penalty area which was headed off the crossbar by a defender trying to clear the danger. Fortunately Bradley was on hand to take the rebound and put Dyce ahead.

 

The next period of play saw Dyce keep most of the possession and fire in several shots, however Sheddocksley also had 2 good chances but fortunately Ross made 2 good decisions by coming out from his goal area early and make decisive clearances  preventing Sheddocksley getting a real chance to score.

 

After 7 minutes some persistent play from Dyce saw the ball fired in from the right by Ryan to Calum who then passed to his left where Liam was waiting to tap the ball into the net past the keeper.

 

The game continued at a good pace with Dyce probably getting the majority of the ball, the next goal came from a good clearance from defence. Ross threw the ball to Matthew who decided he was going to take it down field as far as he could beating a couple of players on the way before he passed inside to Liam who cut the ball inside to Bradley whose first time shot screamed high into the net.

 

No sooner had play re-started when Dyce created another good chance, Ben played the ball out to Ryan, he slipped past the defence before taking a good shot, only to be denied by a great save by the keeper.

 

1st period Dyce BC 3    Sheddocksley 0

 

Play started in the 2nd period with Dyce getting hold of the ball on the right side of the field, where Dylan made a cross field pass to Liam who shot first time across the goal and into the net.

 

A good start but Sheddocksley made sure they were not going to give in easily and came straight back at Dyce with a good move through midfield finished by their striker who slid the ball under the Dyce keeper.

 

The next few minutes saw both teams have their chances but Dyce were the next team to take advantage when corner from Liam was sent into the box, some good work by Dylan at the back post led to him playing the ball out to Bradley who was in a great position to strike the ball early with his left foot and send the ball high into the net.

 

Sheddocksley hit back a couple of minutes later when they won the ball as it was being played out by the Dyce defence, they played the ball forward and across the goal where a Sheddocksley player was on hand to tap the ball in at the post.

 

2nd period Dyce BC 5   Sheddocksley 2

 

The third and final period got off to a great start for Dyce when after 2 minutes a ball from defence was played out to Calum who took the opportunity to pass the ball to Kieran who had found some space in the middle Kieran saw Matthew on his left near to the back post and made a great square pass to him, Matthew then calmly placed the ball into the net.

 

Dyce started to create a number of chances over the next few minutes but couldn`t score with them, they were punished for this when Sheddocksley chased a ball down in midfield then drove forward to score against the run of play.

 

Dyce came right back with a great shot from Angus which the keeper couldn`t hold and ended up out for a corner.

 

The next phase of play saw Sheddocksley go up field and score with a great shot from distance.

 

As time was running out Dyce managed to win a corner which was taken by Calum who drove the ball in low to Ryan, he controlled the ball and laid it off to Bradley who fired in a shot past the stranded keeper.

 

At the very end a shot from distance by Calum was going into the top right corner of the net until it was brilliantly saved by the keeper and put out for a corner.

 

Overall a good competitive game but Dyce seemed to lose concentration near the end  allowing the opposition right back into the game with 2 quick goals. Sheddocksley to their credit worked well throughout the game and displayed the right approach by never giving up.

 

Well done to both sets of players
