Newmarket travelled to Bottisham on a bright but windy day. Town started off well without putting the home sides goal under any real threat. Bottisham opened the scoring direct from a corner which went over the keeper and hit the back post and went in. Jack Robertson soon had Towns real first chance when his shot hit the post. A nice one -two between Jemima Gedny and Jordan Sharpe soon followed,with Sharpe just putting his shot inches wide. Bottisham nearly made it 2-0 moments later with a repeat of the first goal but this time the post saved Town. Newmarket then made it 1-1 after Lachie Allan, who was playing really well won a free-kick on the edge of the area but unfortunately he got hurt in the tackle. Scott Bailey stepped up to take the free-kick which hit the wall and fell to Jack Robertson who rounded the keeper and crossed for James Godfrey who stroked the ball home unmarked at the back post.
After the break Town played some excellent football with good passing and movement.They went into the lead when Jordan Sharpe took a corner which hit Lachie Allan then came back to him and he placed the ball into the bottom left corner. Despite great performances by goalkeeper J Butcher and defenders K Lomas, C Stevens and J Purr they could not stop Bottisham making it 2-2. Town kept trying for a winner but in the end had to settle for a draw.
MANAGERS WERE REALLY PLEASED WITH ALL THE KIDS WELL DONE! |
