GARNETT RESERVES MATCH REPORT
Saturday 25th January 2003 2 Red Star Benwell 1 (1) vs. (2) 2 Garnett Reserves

Unfortunately we're still waiting for the match report from Robbo (I think it is) for this game. But in brief from memory - Roger:

The Reserves went into this game seeking revenge for the 2-0 home defeat suffered at the hands of RS Benwell early in the season. Unlike that game were chances came thick and fast but were not scored, this was a far tighter affair. Dawson and Robinson took a chance each before half time this combined with a massive work rate from the two strikers earned then a joint man of the match award. RS Benwell earned a penalty after new journeyman Woodward tugged back on his man after the striker had picked his pocket coming out of defence. They converted it to make it 2-1 at half time.
The second half saw a resolute performance with the Reserves having their own claim for a penalty and hitting the woodwork a couple of times. Things got a little heated during the final stages but not so much in front of goal as the Reserves eased
their 5th win in 6.

Team: F.Hepburn, P.Miller, R.Turner, M.Campbell-Wonders, W.Woodward, A.Martin , G.Hopkins (L.Walker), B.Holmes 1, D.Robinson 1 MoM, S.Collins 1 MoM (M.Pollard), B.Mallie
