Plumtree 2 vs 0 Caythorpe

<p>So here we are the return of Sam Buckle, playing for Caythorpe (a small team in Lowdham!).&nbsp; Right from the start we knew we would have our work cut out from a side that always carries a lot of pace.

<p>The match started pretty even, with Caythorpe probably edging the play, making good use of the wings to put pressure on the Plumtree defence.&nbsp; Captain CK put a reducer in on Caythorpe's number 9 early, just to let him know there were no obvious hard feelings about him leaving the mighty Gladbach.&nbsp; Following a period of containing the pressure Plumtree started to move the ball well, strong in the tackle and started to make use of the wings.&nbsp; Simon continued his excellent recovery from injury, tormenting the Caythorpe right back as well as linking up well with Matt upfront.&nbsp; It was a Simon run that resulted in throwing that Dean was able to launch into the area.&nbsp; The ever dangerous Ryan climbed highest to nick the ball into the back of the net claiming a well deserved lead for Plumtree.

<p>The second half was a superb display all over the park.&nbsp; The defence were strong as ever limiting the Caythorpe strikers to long range efforts and when they did manage to get through, the brilliant (but pissed!) Roscoe was more than a match.&nbsp; Ryan and Dean were absolutely solid in the middle of the park, winning every header and linking up the play superbly.&nbsp; This allowed Chris and Simon plenty of ball time to drive for another goal.&nbsp; Chris whose distribution had been excellent all game managed to play the ball into Brando in the box following another team move, Brando turned on a six pence and clouted the ball into the top corner.

<p>You could see the Caythorpe&rsquo;s lad&rsquo;s heads drop at this point and although they put on a good attempt, Plumtree were always in control. We could have easily had a few more before the game was out if it wasn't for the Caythorpe keeper who was excellent on the day.&nbsp; First he made a reaction save from Paul Gray heading from a Chris corner, pushing the ball onto the cross bar and bouncing on&nbsp;the line only to be cleared.&nbsp; Simon also made a great run into the box following a quickly taken throwing from Ryan and blasted a shot that seemed destined for the back of the net, only for the keeper to once again dive superbly to push wide for another corner.

<p>Once again as last week, each and every player put in a shift today, a fantastic team display that is going to be so important as we run into the end of the season.&nbsp; Man of the match goes to Ryan who basically won everything, and of course got that all important fist goal at the right time.

<p>Well done lads, once again a very proud management team.&nbsp;
