BOTH TEAMS STARTED BRIGHTLY IN THIS FRIENDLY, WITH SOME GOOD PASSING PLAY & CHANCES BEING CREATED AT BOTH ENDS DESPITE THE HEAVY PITCH.THE FIRST PERIOD REMAINED GOALESS WITH LOW A CONSTANT THREAT TO THE LEVEN DEFENCE.IN THE SECOND 2O LEVEN RAISED THEIR GAME & PUT SPURS UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE, WITH SPURS KEEPER BARCLAY MAKING TWO GREAT SAVES, FIRSTLY TO PALM A SHOT ROUND THE POST & THEN SAVING FROM POINT BLANK RANGE WHEN LEFT ONE ON ONE WITH A LEVEN STRIKER.LEVEN'S PRESSURE FINALLY PAID OF WHEN A SHOT INSIDE THE BOX FOUND THE CORNER OF THE NET. LEVEN SOON MADE IT TWO, AFTER SOME GOOD BUILD UP PLAY THE SPURS DEFENCE FOUND THEMSELVES STRETCHED, RESULTING IN AN EASY FINISH AT THE POST. FREEZING RAIN WAS NOW MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR BOTH TEAMS, BUT IT WAS LEVEN WHO STRUCK AGAIN AFTER A GOOD CROSS & FINISH.SPURS ONCE AGAIN PROVED THEIR FIGHTING SPIRIT & WERE REWARDED WITH A GOAL, WITH LESS THAN 10 MINUTES TO GO A THROUGH BALL RELEASED GUTHRIE, WHO POWERED HIS WAY IN TO THE BOX SHRUGGING OFF THE LAST LEVEN DEFENDER BEFORE SLOTTING THE BALL IN THE CORNER.A FEW MINUTES LATER LOW RECEIVED THE BALL IN MIDFIELD & HIS STRONG RUN IN TO THE BOX & GOOD FINISH GAVE SPURS THEIR SECOND GOAL IN AN ENTERTAINING MATCH.
MAN OF MATCH; BAND WHO HAD A SOLID GAME AT THE HEART OF A STRONG SPURS DEFENCE.

i wouldnt agree with anybody being a constant threat in first 20 against leven or in the whole match. this was a defensive game again and most credit should go to a defence constantly under pressure all of whom had a solid game
YES I AGREE ALL THE ST MONANS DEFENDERS PLAYED WELL TO KEEP THE SCORE DOWN, & I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT IN THE REPORT.
PS IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN GIVING A MORE DETAILED MATCH REVIEW LET ME KNOW.
TERRY.
