Bradley Stoke Town F.C. - Match report

Home vs. Seymour Utd A - Sat 3rd September 2005

A beautiful day and a great way to start!

Straight from the kick-off Bradley Stoke played very attacking football. The connections between Craig Potter, Simon Huckle and Mustapha Jabang saw Seymour having to pull back and cover deeply.  During the first half Mustapha managed to easily convert 3 breakaways into a outstanding first half hat-trick. Craig also scored a penalty and a great strike from the top of the box.

The second half began at a confident slower pace. James Palmer and Colin Garraway held a solid formation at the back which Seymour could not brake down.  Craig then added to his first half tally to give him the second hat-trick of the game. Seymour's broken moral lead to bickering and the game petered off into some silly challenges and cards, but towards the end of a hot and tiring game Seymour broke the clean sheet with a header.  Colin then answered that goal by hammering a well worked short corner from 25 yards out into the roof of the net.

A sound and confident performance from all,  3 points and top of the division.
