Stotfold 0 Blackstones 3
Saturday, 05 September 2009
The Eagles won all three meetings of the clubs in 2008-09, but Stones sprang a surprise at Roker to leave the Eagles' 100% record in tatters.
Adam Scotcher's 35th minute goal, a far post header, had Blackstones ahead at the interval, and a Richard Thompson brace sealed victory in the second half.
Thompson scored his first goal after seventy minutes to complete a left wing build up and he rounded off the scoring with a penalty four minutes from the end following a foul on Mark Jones.
A goalline clearance denied Jez McMurrough a late Stotfold consolation.
Visiting keeper Ian Flavell made a series of fine saves to shut out the Eagles attack, including stops from Louis Taylor, Callum Donnelly and Ryan Aldrin with the game goalless.
Stotfold: Brad Gillham, Luke Simkins (Jez McMurrough), Matt Endersby, Myles Lee (Ryan Ellis), Michael Payne, Ryan Mitchell, Louis Taylor, Stuart Lochhead, Ryan Aldrin, Callum Donnelly, Paul Garrett.
Blackstones: Ian Flavell, Carl Bird, Kevin Ainslie, Darren Glover, Richard Jones, Matty Doyle, Dan Fountain, Chris Pippard, Adam Scotcher (Mark Jones), Richard Thompson, Jon Stead,
