The Manor welcome
Essex Senior New boys Beaumont Athletic who make the
transition to Senior League for the first time in the
2006/2007 League season. Beaumont not having the best
of starts, conceded 64 goals from 11 League games already
this season.
Both Teams impeccably
observing a minutes Silence before the game for Armistice,
in rememberence & to commemorate these that have
fallen victim to War.
The Manor kick
off and straight away gave a warning shot to Beaumont
as Jamie Wallace chases a long ball down, the Beaumont
Keeper came out and tried to clear his line, the ball
cannoned off the back of Wallace who turned last minute
to prevent getting the ball fall on in his face, the
ball then falls kindly for Wallace at the foot of the
goal, leaving him the simple job to stroke the ball
into the net, however, the Referee who was off the pace
of play at the time, decided to disallow the goal, as
he believed that Wallace had used his hand to knock
the ball on?
Beaumont come
close, some good work down the Manor left, caught the
Manor defence square footed, as they powered a low drive
just past the post, close shave for the Manor.
4 minutes later,
Manor front men Sam Cashman and Danny Sabaroche causing
Beaumont all sorts of problems, Cashmen collecting the
ball down the left from a sublime pass from Wallace,
Cashmen cruises into the box and turns two defenders,
lays the ball low & with pace across goal to Sabaroche
who finds a few seconds to line up his shot past the
outreached hands of the Beaumont keeper to make the
score 1-0 to the home side.
Danny Sabaroche
again on to a fabulous ball over the top of the retreating
defence by Chris Barratt, Sabaroche bullies his way
past a chasing defender and shoots just over the bar.
Its all Manor and Beaumont looking shell shocked at
this stage of the game.
Carl Bailey battling
for everything, gets just past the half way line, wins
possession of the ball and sends a 35 yard pass into
the danger area, which rebounds off a defender and into
the path of Neil Barratt who smashes the ball into the
net 2-0 to the Manor.
Sabaroche playing
a nice one two with Wallace and heads off towards goal,
slices the ball inches past the post.
The
Manor's third goal was a great build up from their own
area, Ray Coker collecting the ball from Manor Keeper
Nicky Mitchell, Coker with the ball at his feet charges
down the left, lays the ball nicely to Tony Marsh as
he steams off into the Beaumont half, down the left
hand side, sends a great ball into the box to Sam Cashmen,
who cooly brings the ball under control and curves the
ball around the keeper on to the post and into the net,
3-0 to the Manor.
A another close
shave as the Manor again attack down the left hand side,
Cashmen this time the provider swings a great cross
into the box, Mark Clarey takes an instant stab at it
on the volley, the ball then blasts centimeters just
over the bar, and had it gone in, would have been contender
for goal of the season!
Beaumont seizing
an opportunity to get back in to the game, sending the
ball in to the danger area, Mitchell goes to ground
the ball then bounces high enough to nod into the net
3-1.
Beaumont now
picking up the pace and create some chances to get back
into the game. The Manor defence however, doing well
to contain Beaumont and look well organised, Coker,
Mash combining well on the left to deal with any danger,
this balanced with Carl Bailey working really hard on
the right to keep the front pack adequately supplied.
The Manor attack
once more this time the hard working Tasewell Thompson
chasing the ball down, rounds a defender and lays the
ball to the feet of Cashmen who fires his shot just
wide of the post.
The second period
and desperation time for Beaumont as the Manor pin them
back in the opening minutes, a quick corner taken and
the ball is drilled into the box, it seems like an age
as the ball is pin balled from one side to another and
eventually cleared for a throw!
Nicky Mitchell
called back into action as he needed to go low to prevent
Beaumont from further capitalising, does well to scoop
the ball up.
Manor Corner,
the ball drilled in low, Skipper Jamie Wallace pounces
on the ball to make the score 4-1.
Manor make their
first substitute Mark Clarey off for Justin Gardener.
Followed by a few minutes later, Neil Barratt off for
New Signing David Annobil.
Another scramble
in the Beaumont area, Wallace then Cashmen having a
stab, before Sabaroche sends the ball just wide of the
post.
Beaumont continue
to search out opportunities and the Manor needing to
stay alert, as they crush a long range low effort that
screams just past the post.
Manor defence
getting caught in possession as Beaumont head off towards
the Manor goal in packs, the ball swept low into the
corner of the net leaving Nicky Mitchell no chance.
4-2.
The Manor now
starring to look uneasy as Beaumont pick up the pace,
another goal conceded now would put enormous pressure
on the home side! Another Beaumont strike, looks to
be going in, but thankfully Nicky Mitchell wide awake
as he gets the ball under control.
Cashmen still
trying to sniff out an opportunity breaks on the ball,
cuts into the penalty area and slots the ball just over
the bar.
Another Manor
Substitute as Tashwell Thompson is replaced by Stephen
Parker.
Parker down the
right, squares to Sabaroche, who pushes his way into
the box, noticing Cashmen unmarked at the back post
slides the ball across giving Cashmen the easy task
of just slotting the ball in to the net making the score
5-2.
The Manor now
pouring on the style as they attack from everywhere
on the park, Cashmen and Sabaroche working really well
together and appear to be forming a real understanding
of each others play.
Stephen Parker
again doing a great job down the right, opening up some
space and laying a great ball to Danny Sabaroche in
the box, Sabaroche turns at least two defenders before
finding an angle and slots the ball home to make the
final score 6-2 to the Manor.
