Another Sucker Punch For Valley

<p>KVFC were away to Sporting Weston this week in what was an important game for both. With both teams currently lying in mid table & within 3 points from each other it was all to play for.&nbsp;<p>Sporting started the game well pinning Valley back & the pressure was to prevail as a well played ball in behind the valley defense put the striker through on goal, tucking it past Stu Wilson as he couldn't quite get his hands to the ball. 1 - 0 to Sporting.&nbsp;<p>It was Sporting who would be the team to score next aswell as 5 minutes later from a KVFC corner the ball was well cleared & on the break away, a couple of missed tackles & Sporting were in on goal. Well finished past Wilson & it was 2-0 inside 15 minutes.&nbsp;<p>Valley kept on pushing and a good freekick from Ben Stanley gave a great chance to Andy Vowles from 6 yards out. The ball headed just over the bar.&nbsp;<p>It was to be another blow for Valley as on the 25th minute mark a corner was whipped into the box & Wilson unable to keep a firm grasp on the ball resulted in an easy header on the line for Sporting. 25 minutes gone Sporting 3 - 0 KVFC.&nbsp;<p>Valley managed to get a goal back on the 35th minute when Ben Stanley driving at defenders from a short corner was hacked at in the box & the ref blew up for a Penalty. Stanley tucking the ball away from 12 yards just under the keepers body.&nbsp;<p>It was almost the ideal game changer from Valley when the 40th minute a well clipped ball into the box by Stanley was nodded towards goal by Ricky Smith. Well saved by the keeper but falling to Dan Andrews on the line for a tap in. However ruled for offside, a close decision that could have changed the game.&nbsp;<p>It wasn't to be Valley's day as on the 43rd minute a sloppy freekick on the outside of the box was well struck. Saved by Wilson but followed up by the Sporting defender for a tap in.&nbsp;<p>Half Time - Sporting - 4 - 1 KVFC<p>The second half had started with a good tempo & with Valley trying there hardest to push on & try to get back in the game. Sporting however kept up there press from the first half & on the 60th minute it was a freekick into the box flicked on which caught out both defender & goal keeper resulting in a goal for Sporting.&nbsp;<p>Sporting were not finished there either when 15 minutes later a well timed through ball was again well finished by the Sporting striker. This game was turning into a real hammering for valley.&nbsp;<p>It could have been 7 but for some brilliant defending on the line by Zach Michell. The ball whipped into the box & cleared from the line. Also a second attempt cleared off the Line by Michell. The resulting chance sent over the bar by the Sporting striker.&nbsp;<p>Valley did manage to get themselves another goal though on the 80th minute when a head on from Ricky Smith fell kindly to Ben Stanley who tucked it though the keepers legs making the game 6 - 2.&nbsp;<p>This seemed to spur Valley on when only 5 minutes later a well played ball into the box fell kindly to Ryan Mogg 8 yards out. Mogg smashing the ball through the crowd & into the back of the net. A little more reasonable from Valley at 6 - 3.&nbsp;<p>There was to be one more chance on the 89th minute with a break away down the right hand side from Dan Scribbins. A fantastic cut back fell perfectly to Stanley who tucked the ball into the top right corner making it 6 - 4.&nbsp;<p>Although another heavy defeat for Valley they will take the positives from the game & go again next time.&nbsp;<p>A-Y-S Cleaning Service MOTM - Ben Stanley with special mentions to Ryan Mogg & Zach Michell who had good solid games.&nbsp;
