Division One East
Woodstock Park 6 St. Margarets 1
Saturday, 18 September 2004
Having scored 14 goals in their first two games St Margaret's were the
leaders of the division when they came to fourth placed Woodstock Park on
Saturday but by the end of the match the teams had just about swapped places
with Park going to the top of the division for the first time ever.
The early stages were cagey until on ten minutes the home sides leading
scorer of the last two seasons James Ellis broke the deadlock with a trade
mark strikers finish. This lit the blue touch paper for a top draw thirty
five minute spell which ended this match as a contest. On the half hour the
ever improving Terry Smith danced round two defenders to crash an
unstoppable shot in off the crossbar. Five minutes before the half had
completed Aaron Hayward scored following an excellent passing sequence to
make it 3-0.
A bitty stop start fifteen minute spell at the beginning of the second half
was ended when Hayward popped up to grab his second. At 4-0 the visitors got
a consolation from a corner with the home sides defence asleep for the only
time in the game.
Long serving Rob Warburton hit one of his screamers form the edge of the box
which the visiting keeper made a hash of to make it 5-1 but the best of the
lot came when Smith got his second curling a free kick around the wall from
the edge of the box for 6-1.
Next Saturday Woodstock will be looking to maintain top spot when they meet
old rivals Tyler Hill at home with a 2.45pm kick off at the park.
