THE GREENWOOD F.C

THE GREENWOOD F.C   5 - 2   YARDLEY AMATEURS

The Greenwood started this match at a high tempo and looked like they was up 4 it from the 1st whistle, their passing was slick and the movement was excellent and it was no suprise when they took the lead in the 15th min through a brave Duncan hill header, Jimmy Green played the ball out of defence and it bounced into their box, the keeper came charging out but Hill got their 1st 2 nod over him, they scored again 10 mins later when Scott Wilson burst into the box and slotted home. The Greenwood looked dangerous everytime they broke with The impressive Haynes and the lively Fisher causing problems down the flanks, and they made the pressure count in the 34th min when Fisher scored from close range after a mix up in the box, They added a 4th in the 40th min after a well worked goal, Robbie Parker started the move from the back he passed into the middle where he found Benton, he exchanged passes with Reece before Releasing Haynes down the Left, Haynes then ran at the defence beating 3 defenders before pulling the ball back to Wilson who drove home from close range, it was a execellent team goal. The 2nd half went Flat for the Greenwood as their game went out the window and Yardley to their credit battled well and deserved their 2 goals albeit The Greenwood could of done better on both occasions, the only highlight of the 2nd half was Adam Reeces super drive in the 83rd min which found the top corner, The Greenwood ran out deserved winners though 5-2.

       PLOUGH F.C     4 - 1    THE GREENWOOD F.C

 Another shocking display from the Greenwood as they fell apart as soon as they conceded the 1st goal, but in truth they should of been 3- 0 up in the opening 20 mins but a combination of poor finishing and wrong decision making proved costly, Plough took the lead in the 24th min when Liam Irons passed back to the keeper Richard Anson, Anson got his feet in a mix and the plough forward slotted home, they extended their lead early in the 2nd half when Irons tripped the Plough forward in the box and gave away a penalty, in which he durely convereted, The Greenwood then pushed Irons up front and this proved a good move as he flicked on a long throw to Adam Reece who headed home inside the box on 68 mins, But the Greenwood was undone again at the back not long after when the Plough forward turned Andy Taylor in the box and beat Anson at his near post, With the Greenwood Pushing Players forward in search of a goal they got done by a long ball over the top and the forward went through and made the final score 4-1 to the Plough.

 The Greenwood dominated the match from start to finish and really should of won by more as Maxtel didnt create much going forward, the Greenwood started the match well and played at a high tempo although they missed alot of chances during the game, it looked like it was going to be one of them days for the Greenwood with all the missed chances but Adam Reece struck with 1 min to go from the edge of the area after he collected a pass from Guy Bradley to snatch a well deserved win, The Greenwood never looked in danger at the other end as the whole defence was superb with Jimmy Green being named Man Of The Match!...

THE GREENWOOD F.C    2 - 3   MARSTON LIONS F.C

                                                                       (A.E.T)

The Greenwood threw this game away as they took a 2 goal lead and was cruising before they fell apart, they opened the scoring in the 29th min when the lively Haynes beat 2 men on the wing before pulling the ball back for Adam Reece to side foot home from 6 yards, they should of extended their lead but they missed chance after chance, they went in at half- time 1- 0, The 2nd half started the same with the Greenwood creating chances but failing to take them, they did grab the 2nd goal in the 59th min when Haynes  whipped in a great ball to the far post and substitute Guy Bradley slotted home, they should of killed the game off 5 mins later when Carl Neville was put through by Icke but he shot straight at the keeper. All these missed chances spurred Marston on and they grabbed a goal back in the 71st min, The Greenwood then pushed men forward and got caught napping at the back and Marston drew level to take the game into extra time. In extra time The Greenwood missed 3 guilt edge chances all set up by the  impressive Haynes, each time he pulled the ball back but was all missed by Luke Reece, this was proving not to be Greenwoods day and it was no suprise that Marston Grabbed the winner after a mistake by Liam Irons although the Marston forward looked yards offside.
