Sedgefield netpark fc vs Pelaw Grange Dogs FC Score: 2 - 1
Pelaw Grange Dogs FC gave a lack luster performance in this game and it wasn't until the subs came on that they looked anything like they had played in previous seasons. They were 2 nil down and substitute Chris Neve made it 2-1 with only a short period left but they showed more spirit in these last few minutes than they had all game. The team needs to have more confidence and spirit with lack luster performances possibly due to players playing on a Saturday and on a Sunday afternoon. They will have to do a lot better in the remaining fixtures if they want to finish in the top half of the table.
After more than 2mths NETPark had more than 12 players to choose from, both teams had no keepers so outfield players were used. Game started very scrappy then NETPark stared to dominate forcing a lot of corners and half chances. On 16mins one of the corners saw Andrew Shepherd head we'll into the corner 1-0. NETPark didn't take any more chances, Pelaw should have equalized right on half time but Sedgwick saved well.
Second half and pretty much the same, NETPark we're coping well with Pelaw going long to try and get in behind. Sub Hindson scored from a free kick on 80mins 2-0.Pelaw then started to push on and pulled a goal back on 85mins when Sedgwick and Husband lost the flight of the ball in the sun, it hit Husband and fell nicely for a simple tap in 2-1. NETPark held on for a vital 3 points
