A Great Result

<p>A severely weakened Hamilton through work, suspension and Holiday played a mature game today to grab all 3 points.<p>Really proud of the lads today to not get involved with the ref or react to the off the ball stuff.<p>A real mature performance all round, working with the referee, who i thought got all the big decisions bang on today.<p>Nick Izzard`s debut really showed why he is one of the best CB`s around - Class performance and unbelievable restraint shown throughout with the attention showed to him.<p>Yes the 1st Half saw Tone dominate the midfield battle for the first 30 mins but the half ended with Hamilton, 1 shot on target - saved, to Tone, 1 shot on target -saved.<p>Both keepers can be proud of there saves.<p>As we found out against Bathpool if you don`t turn possession into goals -it counts for nothing !Talking point in the half would be if Shane Jolly should have seen Red for a challenge on Kieren Wyatt as last man, after Aston Radford gave it away cheaply in midfield.<p>However, the referee was quite right in pointing out there was 1 maybe 2 covering defenders that could have got across.<p>2nd half saw Hamilton dig in and win more of the ball in midfield and gain a foot hold always looking dangerous on the counter.<p>The turning point in the game came on 63 mins when Ozzy hit a wonder strike from a good 30 yds with a bit of swaz on it to put Hamilton in front.<p>The rest of the game was seen out with Hamilton always looking dangerous on the break away as Tone pushed more men on, but in truth both teams had nothing more than half chances.<p>Wyatt having the best of the chances for Tone with Bells pulling off a good save.<p>Cookie was motm after a great performance in midfield after starting out wide.<p>All the subs made a huge difference when coming on and injected pace into our play.<p>at crucial times.<p>4 yellows to Tone and 1 to Hamilton.<p>Onto next week now, we won`t get carried away with today as it was`nt our best performance but good enough.<p>Well done lads.
