Left: Lewis Passfield Manor Man of the Match

Saturday 3rd April 04

On the back of two straight wins Eton Manor found it hard going against a strong and physical Concord Side. With the wind in their faces first half struggled to find their rhythm. Concord took the initiative and made a few good chances early in the game, with Heale looking to extend his goal tally as the leagues top marksman tried to take advantage of a few gaps in The Manor defence. In the 35th minute saw some good build up play by Concord and got their reward when the ball fell to Wastell just outside the Manor penalty area on the half volley knocked it passed the outstretched hands of Carl Prince. Manor had only few chances in the first half and went in 0-1 down.

The second half saw the Manor in more determined mood. In the 48th minute Lee Whitelock playing a nice one two with Johnny Quinn who sent Sammy Marks tearing down the wing who put a perfectly weighted cross on to the head of Lewis Passfield who steered the ball into the back of the net. It was now game on with the score level at 1-1 The Manor started to pile on the pressure and some good work from Sammy McCarthy who was causing the Concord defence all sorts of problems nearly put the Braves in front with a superb header which just crept over the bar. Concord who are not a side to be intimidated started to regain their control on the game and in the 53rd minute Danny Greaves split open the Manor defence to go 1-2 up. The Manor now stepping it up a gear started to press hard for an equaliser when Danny Midford tangled with Heale and the referee giving Midford his second yellow of the game was sent off. Not deterred by the sending off The Manor started to attack and came close on three occasions each effort just off target. On the 84th minute and against the run of play Heale putting the game into no doubt scored Concords third.

Credit to Concord they came to frustrate the Manor and used their physical presence to take all 3 points. Good displays by Barrett, Snazel and Tony Marsh. Lewis Passfield was named Manor's MOM for his work rate and dogged determination throughout the game.

Team: Prince, Marsh, Barrett, Snazel, Marks, Quinn, Scales Whitelock, Midford, Passfield, McCarthy, Subs – Jones, Richards, Forde
