Sunnyvale 2 Rovers 1

The Rovers slumped to another defeat at the hand of Sunnyvale under the lights of Mayfield park, this time the score line was 2-1.

It wa a game of poor passing and few chances. The Mayfield South pitch makes it difficult to get any time on the ball. More passes found the touchline then a shirt from both sides. The Rovers started the brighter of the two sides and Sunnyvale were actually under pressure. As the half wore on the Rovers lost their key man in Jose. Once the little spaniard limped out of the game Sunnyvale started to take more control of the match. Their goal was perhaps against the run of play but they are a dangerous side so it was hardly suprising. Nigel had a good effort and was unlucky on another as the ball just ran in between his legs. Brodie supplied him a cross but his bullet header just missed the targedThe older irishmen was full of running. Kieran pushed up to support his fellow countryman as the Rovers continued to battle. With them missing Jose, Eoin, Paulie, Bryce and Colin this was always going to be a tough game.

The second half was even again with neither time having many great chances at goal The Sunnyvale goal came with Little joe scored a cracker of a goal, just at the wrong end. His diving header gave Ben no chance and Sunnvyale had a two goal lead.

Next up Gibbsy got himself a yellow and another yellow leaving the Rovers to battle out the last 20 minutes with 10 players. Of course, this was probably the best period for the Rovers. Nigel glanced in a Brodie cross to make it 2-1 and the Rovers had a few half chances to equalize. The best one following to Cameron. Curt and Jonathan found themselves way up the field almost connected in a fine move inside the Sunnyvale box but it was not to be. Lawton helped with the goal as well. At times the Sunnvyale defense didn't know who to mark!

the game ended up finishing 2-1, but it was not from the lack of effort

MOM: Nigel, did very well in the lone forward role. Perhaps Nigle should be saved for Mayfield South only?
