Good 3 points well earned

An impressive second half performance earned a crucial three points for Old Parms 6ths against bottom of the league outfit Old Minchendenians. Zach Pearson opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner whipped in by Shaf Shakur from the right. A bright start should have resulted in more goals but both Pearson and Charlie Heath were wasteful with some decent chances. Playing with three at the back we were left exposed and a ball over the top was hammered home to equalise, going in level at 1-1 at the break. Old Parms 6ths reshuffled and after a rousing half time speech from Steve Pryor, started to turn the screw. A superb drilled cross from Aaron Spencer ten yards in from the right touch line was volleyed home emphatically by Zach Pearson for his second. The third came from Charlie converting delicately past the keeper latching onto Jack Gooding's through ball. Charlie missed the chance to make it more comfortable failing to score a penalty kick in the last five minutes. MoM goes to Geroge Le Beau, who was solid throughout but had an awesome final 30minutes making successive tackles, pushing forward and driving the team over the finish line.
