Sat 12th October 2002 New York North
Tyne Sup 0 (0) vs. (0) 1 Garnett Bohemian
|
A cool strike mid way through the second half by Dave Alexander secured Garnett's second win of the season against a spirited New York side. On another day the winning margin could have been more but on a day when conditions didn't suit Garnett's free flowing football the one nil score line was an excellent result. Chances were at a premium in a mainly scrappy fist half, with the only real chance falling to Alexander who missed from close range after a through ball from Logan. New York competed well but offered little up front and their attacking duo (featuring a "Victor Meldrew" look alike) were easily marshalled by the excellent centre half pairing of Martin and Cavanagh. The only other chance in a largely forgettable first half came just before half time via a 20 yard Hindley free kick, which was struck just over. Garnett buoyed by a rousing half time team talk from
Paddy (a.k.a. John Peel) took the field in the second half with fresh
impetus to break New York's off side trap but as weather conditions
deteriorated, so did the eye sight of the referee who continued to incorrectly
rule Garnett players off side. |
