Goals galore as Skenfrith battle to the end

For the forth time this season Skenfrith Utd conceded two goals before they got started, this week within eight minutes.

But Skenny then settled down and got back in to it, attacking the Bringsty side with crisp passing and movement on the hard frosty surface.

After 37 minutes they got the goal they deserved. Macdonald prodding home from a goal mouth scramble.

Then in typical fashion with the game well within their reach they conceded a minute from half time, allowing two men to converge on the keeper Jenkins leaving him with no chance.

The Skenfrith players started the second half as they did in the first. and within a minute of the restart were back to 3-2 through Nash with a well placed shot in to the bottom corner.

With the game now for the taking Skenfrith dominated and were well in control. But when defender Jackson's poor and short back pass never made the keeper a Brigsty player nipped in and scored, undoing all the hard work and effort that the Skenfrith players had put in.

With their heads still jaded Skenfrith conceded another, making it 5-2. With 20 minutes remaining to be fair most sides would have given in after all the effort they had put in and the bad luck with mistakes but Skenfrith Utd kept going. And were rewarded by dominating the last 20 minutes and scoring another two goals through the unusual left foot of Tynan and a beautiful goal from Ellias from a Byron pass.

With time running out the boy's pushed hard but just could not get the equaliser.

The performance of the players today was exceptional, the work ethic was great. This could be the turning point of the season as the lads do not like losing and expect more of themselves, which showed in the performance this week.
