Essex Senior League

 

Saturday 31st October 2009 - Kick Off 3pm

The Braves continued in fine form after their mid week win. High flying Sawbridgeworth were the visitors, arriving with a selection of Bishops Stortford players. The opening exchanges were relatively even and the only real early action was courtesy of the Manor's Joe Nightingill who fired a fierce effort just over.

Sawbridgeworth replied with an effort that was well saved by Manor keeper Michael Wakefield after the home defence had been outjumped. The Braves powered forward and a great free kick by Paul Marin set up Chris Barrett whose firm header was ably saved. The home side were well on top now and strikers Danny Clarke and Courtney Linton kept the visitors defence at full stretch.

Danny Clarke saw a goal ruled out for offside after lofting the ball neatly over the goalkeeper and Paul Marin struck the post from the free kick. A great flowing move ended with Paul Marins fierce effort flying just over.

Soon after this, Danny Clarke held up and shielded a good ball up to him, his one two with Paul Marin enabled the former to nod the ball over a static visitors defence to skipper Dean Frett who volleyed home emphatically to put the Braves one up with the last kick of the half.

After the break the Manor went searching for another goal and it came courtesy of Manny Sackey who slotted home a fine penalty after the irrepressible Danny Clarke had been up ended by the goalkeeper.

It was one way traffic now and great efforts from Paul Marin and Danny Clarke just failed to add to the score. The visitors, to their credit went all out for a reply and the Braves keeper pulled off a superb save on 80 minutes to deny them.

Apart from this effort not much else troubled a home defence, expertly marshalled by Neil Barratt. Late efforts from Paul Marin after good work by Richard Simpson and Carl Bailey flew just wide and the Braves ran out comfortable and worthy 2-0 winners.

Manor Manager Kevin Durrant said,"I am so pleased that we are now showing passion and a resolute attitude to go with our undoubted ability. We have a tough schedule coming up and this sets a standard for us to play to."
