Manor frozen out
Saturday 28th February

Played in the bitter cold and freezing conditions, Concord started brightly and after only 5 minutes tested the Manor keeper Carl Prince. Both sides set their stool out and decided to play a passing game, with Manor hitting Concord on the break 3 times in a super 5 minute spell. Manor's keeper Prince took a 15th minute goal kick which was held up in the driving wind the ball fell to Chris Barrett who tried to clear but hit the ball into a wall of players and the ball fell into the path of Danny Heale who duly obliged making it 1-0 to Concord. The goal then set Manor alight and they started to control the midfield area. A Concorde player then elbowed Johnny Quinn and was shown a straight red card. Now Manor had the bit between their teeth and started to really get on top of the game and were rewarded with a deserved leveller when Quinn's shot hit the bar and Lewis Passfield duly slotted home. Shortly after Asa Pamplin then had a one and one with the keeper who made a superb save. On the stroke of half time a long ball forward caught Snazel and Barrett napping and Concord scored their second and went in at the break 2-1 up.

The second half was nothing like the first and Concord with one man short playing now against the wind resorted to a long ball game and it worked catching Manor out on a few occasions. Manor also had chances when Fola went close twice and Passfield had a couple of half decent shots at goal. Another long ball from Concord seemingly going out of play was kept in by Manor's Carl Prince only for him to pass straight to the ever impressive Danny Heale, who made it 3-1. Manor then made two changes bringing on skipper Gary Scales after a 10 week lay off and 14 year old Lewis Jones for the last 15 minutes.

An impressive win by Concord today against a rejuvenated Manor side. Concord continue their run for Championship honours this season, however the Manor can rightly feel proud of their performance today.

Team: Prince, G.Smith, Marsh, Barrett, Snazel, Passfield, Quinn, Morris, Midford, Fola, Pamplin, Subs – Jones, Scales, Richards,
