Points in the bag !

Petersfield 1-1 Yateley

After 1 point in two games Yateley were looking for their first win of the season. Would be a tough game against Petersfield who had come down from the league above.

With two people dropping out injured on Friday, Yateley were left with a bare 11 to face Petersfield. This did not affect a motivated Yateley who within 5 minutes had opened up the scoring with a beautifully worked short corner. Tom Morgan the man on the post to bag his first goal for the 1s. Petersfield responded with applying more pressure on the ball carrier causing Yateley to cough up possession. This resulted in a Petersfield equaliser via a drag flick from a short corner. Both teams had good and bad passages of play but due to a good effort from goalkeeper Darren Cresswell the game finished at 1 - 1.

David Woods on the sideline had this to say “Was a great effort considering we only had 11 men, probably would have got the win if we had a few subs.”

Man of the match was Darren Cresswell for his effort in between goals
