Drimpton FC Into The Final

This report issued on social media yesterday:

What a mammoth performance!
Drimpton FC have booked their place in the Final after a huge effort against a very good side from Lytchett.
The visitors started the brighter and played some neat passing football and seemed to like the ball over the top for their fast wide men to run on to. This caused The Greens some early problems. But a mixture of poor finishing and last ditch defending kept the ball out of the net. However Lytchett took the lead on the 30 minute mark when a through ball was crossed across the 6 yard box for an easy finish. Based on the early exchanges Lytchett deserved this.
Drimpton were not creating much but took note from the fact the Lychett defence were struggling dealing with high balls.
A free kick to Drimpton with 5 minutes left of the first half was awarded on the edge of the 18 yard box. The resulting free kick was curled home by Chris Whitburn to give the Greens a life line. Just before half time Lychett went through on goal with just the goalie to beat and the ball came back off the post.

FootballHalf time 1-1

Attacking down the slope in the second half proved yet again to be many visiting teams downfall. Good early pressure resulted in a corner to Drimpton. A lovely delivery by John Kingston was met by a towering Ryan Gay header which flew in the net. Drimpton’s confidence grew and they started winning the little battles, the defence handled the away teams attacks and gave the midfield and forward line something to build on. Another free kick was awarded wide on the left and this time the prolific Tim Hussey curled in a beauty to give the Greens a fantastic win and give them a cup final to look forward to in their first season of reformation.

Full time 3-1

Manager Andy Loudon added “Before the game today we spoke about not wanting our season to end today. In the second half especially the players certainly repaid us. That was a very good team we were up against. The second half yet again was so strong. Closing Lychett down and they didn’t like our players in their faces. Such a great performance which makes the whole club, players and officials so proud.
The whole team put in a man of match performance.”
