A rainy day, but not for UEA

UEA first team continued there good form yesterday with a 1-0 win at home to Oxford Brookes. A team who had beaten them 4-0 at the start of the season. The goal came from a Nick Young penalty sending the keeper the wrong way after Duncan White was brought down in the box. Another clean sheet must be great for the back four since Loughborough scored 4 passed them. The introduction of the Monster Magnus must also be making a difference especially with his captains man of the match performance. Things look promising for UEA firsts, third in the league and only 4 points gehind the top two teams Loughborough and a team they have beaten, Oxford University Mens Firsts.

The twos played on a pitch which can only be described as table with two legs shorter than the others against Northampton. Starting the game playing uphill after losing the toss didn't affect UEA after Dave Yeomans strike was somehow kept out by the keeper only 15 seconds after the start. Yeomans did eventually score the first goal, a neat pass from Gaskell put him through and Yeomans tucked it away nicely. Yeomans could of had a first half hatrick had the keeper not kept Northampton in it. Gaskell got the second, unmarked in the box he put a his header into the bottom corner from a nice Chris Gunn cross.
Straight after the restart Gaskell got his second, a crap touch from Marcus Jones accidently put him through to place it passed the keeper. Gaskell got his hatrick from the spot, Liam Martin apparently being fouled. (Never been a pen) Man of the Match Matt Beasley left his mark on the game with a header from a John Richardson free kick. Gaskell got his fourth from a lay off from Liam Martin to make it 6-0. All in all a great day for UEA, most people were covered in mud except Gunny, he doesn't like the wet. Also we would like to congratulate Frank on his UEA debut, he started with real fire only to miss the ball in his effort for goal in a Van Persie style fashion.



Good luck to everyone for Saturday and results on the league should be up by Sunday night.
