Reserves 1-1 Sleaford Town

Lincolnshire League

Report by Colin Woodcock

The United Reserves dropped their first points of the season in a dour battle with neighbours Sleaford Town. With a very strong side, the United Reserves dominated the first half and should have gone into the interval with a healthy lead, but bad finishing, excellent goalkeeping and some rugged defending saw the half finish without any goals. Two minutes after the interval, KIWOMYA saw his shot cannon off a defender's leg into the net.

Despite constant pressure the home side could not find the net again and this allowed the visitors to come back into the game with a tremendous shot from 20 yards that went just under the bar. Despite more pressure Sleaford held firm for a share of the points.

United team: 1. Nick Maddison, 2. Martin Hardy, 3. Jason Burnham, 4. Steve Appleby, 5. Andy Taylor, 6. Darren Clyde, 7. Neil Timby, 8. Mark Melson, 9. Andy Kiwomya, 10. Danny Dack, 11. Ian Stringfellow, 12. Ryan Collingwood, 14. Anthony Elding, 15. Danny Seager.
