MASTERS O50 CUP

Round 1 10.11.13

Worcester 3 (0) v Charnwood Mountsorrel 1 (0)

A depleted Charnwood Mountsorrel could only field 10-men against a well-drilled Worcester side who were able to dominate large periods of the game. The visitors were under sustained pressure, but the defence was well-marshalled by Tony Kirk and Charnwood kept a clean sheet in the first period. With only an injured Mark Taylor to play up-front, the chances for Charnwood were few and far between.

The deadlock was broken shortly after half-time, when a goalmouth scramble resulted in a close range finish for the home attacker. Worcester twice extended their lead as they dominated possession, but Charnwood fought all the way and debutant Greg Marshall scored the game’s final goal in the closing minutes

Squad:

Tom Metson (GK); Tony Kirk, Tony McKee, Paul Carter; G Marshall;
