After taking the positive aspects of Wednesday nights game against Lilley, it was time to vary the fomation and try some players in some slightly different positions.
Both sides started brightly with the Blues taking the lead after about 15mins.
Minutes later Turks weaved through several players before being fouled. The Ryman League Ref award a free kick on the edge of the area. Turk himself took a sweet free kick curling past the keeper into the far right corner, true Turkish Delight!
Lions took the lead from a Turks throw in on the left, flicked on by G into the path of Ian Canning whose quick thinking feet scored from outside the box. Blues came back to equalised after Lions failed to clear the ball in a congested penalty area that ended with a gift for the Blues foward from 6 yards out.
G was disposessed from a throw in on the half way line and some quick passing led to Blues taking the lead.
Just before half time a Lions attack down the Right fed John Harvey who darted into the box and scored from a narrow angle, beating the keeper at the near post who could only help the ball into the net.
Lions started the second half brightly, A Turks set piece was cleared only as far as G, who fed John Harvey in space inside the box and made no mistake in netting his second.
Blues pinned the Lions back for a spell of 15 mins or so before an excellent counter attack from Gardner, Harvey & Canning. Haveys pass allowed Canning contol the ball, move past a played before hitting his second from outside the box.
Not to be outdone, a Blues player hit a screamer into the top corner from midfield. Lions were beginning to enjoy more space on the counter attack. Pete Farr beat the offside trap only to put the ball over the bar, he later rose like a salmon at the back post to head a goal from a Turkentine corner.
Blues continued to push, only for Goalkeeper French to bring down a Blues player for a penalty as he went past him. Blues scored the penalty in the last kick of the game. The game was well played by both teams.
Lions Team: French, S Farr, Fildes, Marlow, Jordan, Dye, Turkentine, D Farr, Harrison, Canning, Harvey. Subs used: Pearson, Gardner, P Farr, Pheron
