GAR'S GREAT GAME + DOC'S DOUBLE
Gar's best tackle was in 75th min, when a Stedfast forward, through on goal and about to shoot, Gar made a last ditch sliding tackle, winning the ball and clearing his lines.
DOC's Double; a 30 yard free into top right corner & a soaring header.
Stedfast 2 v 2 D3
Gar the player /manager had a great game against a Stedfast side,who had they won, would have gone top of the division.
Stedfast started the better and had the lions share of possession in the first half. Stedfast were winning more of the ball in midfield , which put a lot pressure on the defence. D3 defence held strong, lead by Gar, putting in well time tackles.
Things didn't look good when after 15 mins Robbie had to go off injured with a groin strain. His replacement DOB didn't put a foot wrong in the whole game. He went to make sure nobody scored from his side and that's exactly what he did. Ten minutes later Vinny went off injured with an ankle injury, being replaced by Alex, who also had a good game.
On the 20th minute, with D3 playing a high line, 2 Stedfast players were 5 yards offside but the ref. let the game go on. They broke away and gave Jez no chance.
Dollymount never gave up, even if they were a bit ragged. In the 30th minute DOC took a free kick from 25 yards and put it in the top right corner. The keeper got a hand to the ball but could not stop it.
Stedfast spent most of the last 15mins in Dollymount's half but Gar's defence kept them out. Jez making some very good saves. The two full backs, Dave OB & Alex, held up Stedfast's wing play. Paddy & Gar stopped most of the centre play with fine tackles and good reading of the game. Tom & Baz got very little service, so it's hard to comment on them. D3 made to 1/2 time 1-1.
The 2nd half was a different story, D3 were much more organised and dominated nearly the whole half. The 4 midfielders (DOC, Ronan, Al and Kinger) took control of the game. Ronan & DOC started winning most of the ball in the centre, even when Stedfast added another midfielder. Al & Kinger made some very good runs down the lines and put in some good crosses.
Shane was brought on for Tom on the 60th minute. Shane went to left mid and Mark went up front.
65th min D3 won a corner on the right, Al hit a high in swinger into the near post where DOC rose high and in front of the defence to power his header past the keeper. Going 2-1 up was nothing more than D3 deserved and could have had a lot more goals, with shots from Baz, Al, Kinger and Ronan all bringing off saves from their keeper.
Stedfast didn't give up either, in the 70th minute, Alex was chasing back after the ball under pressure from a Stedfast forward and seemed to have everything under control but just as he was about to kick into touch, he slipped and the no. 13 turned and lobbed Jez, leaving him stranded. A few minutes later a Stedfast forward broke through and he would have been straight on goal but for a great sliding tackle by Gar when it look like he had no chance of stopping the forward.
Dollymount went for the win and won more corners and had more shots on target but could not find another goal.
It ended 2-2 which was probably a fair result since it was a game of 2 HALVES.
