Marlborough Vs Robinsons B Marlborough win 2-1
With only 3 games left and knowing only a win would do in their outside bid for promotion Marlborough welcomed old foes Robinsons in what was sure to be a physical and hard fought game.
Marlborough controlled the game from the opening push back and passed the ball around with an assuredness which has been prevalent all season long- clearly a product of excellent coaching and commitment from all involved! Marlborough were soon making incisive, strong moves down both flanks but the final ball was always cut out by precise Robinsons defending.
The tension mounted after Marlborough were unable to convert several short corners and chances from open play and the home sides worst fears were realised when Robinson broke away and ended up scoring an uncontested tap in from a yard! 1-0 down Marlborough did not panic but upped their energy levels and soon equalised!
A beautiful flowing move down the left opened up the pitch for player/ coach/ striker/ sometime defender Matt Way to rifle the ball across the face of goal which was met by Rhys Davies for a deflection finish. 1-1 at half time.
The second half began with Marlborough in complete control and looking very threatening. It was a credit to Robinsons that they held the score at 1-1 for so long until Anil Sud scored with a strike from a short corner.
The game was poised on a knife edge as Marlborough attacked constantly, mainly through Will Radnege who caused problems for the visitors all afternoon with direct and elusive attacking play. Marlborough’s defence has little to do in the second half but were kept on their toes once or twice when Robbies were able to break through the midfield.
The game ended 2-1 which keeps the pressure on 2nd place North Somerset…..
The Marlborough News Online man of the match was Will Radnege.
