MATCH REPORT:
Guisborough Town (Home): NL Div 2, 27th January
2010.
F/T : Won 2 - 0 Scorers:
- Skelton, Jones
Marske made three
changes from the team that drew at Newton
Aycliffe four days earlier.
Craig Skelton made
his first start for ten matches in place of Benn
Thompson, and John Seaton made his first start
for the club as he took his place in a new look
midfield as we were without Andy Swalwell, Micky
Waller and Josh Myers.
In an open start to
the game, David Onions carved out two early
chances whilst playing on the last defender.
First he broke away between Andy Raw and Richie
Ward but had his shot from the edge of the box
easily gathered by Brendan Ledgeway when a pass
to the unmarked Luke Bythway seemed to be his
best option.
Then on six minutes
he somehow headed a Bythway cross wide from only
six yards out.
Rob Jones did well
to get down the left win on 10 minutes and
cleverly tricked his way past Louis Smith on the
byline to get into the box, but couldn’t quite
find Craig Skelton with his pull-back.
Owen Dixon made a
surging run forward past three Guisborough
players on 14 minutes but just as he was about
to pull the trigger, Paul Roddam got across to
block.
Skelton won a free
kick in a central position just outside the area
on 20 minutes, but Derek Bradley passed straight
back to a grateful Andrew Rafferty.
Ledgeway made a
good collection of Luke Bythway’s free kick on
29 minutes, and following a good build up, Danny
Brunskill set up Skelton in the box but he
failed to find the target.
Having sustained a
spell of Marske pressure, the Priorymen were
allowed back into the game as we gave away two
silly free kicks.
The second,
Ledgeway had to tip around the post, and from
the resulting corner Guisborough came inches
away from taking the lead as Luke Bythway
smashed his header against the crossbar.
This let-off was
the wake up call we needed, and we took the lead
shortly after on 39 minutes as Jones forced a
corner.
Bradley’s corner
was headed out wide, but Brunskill picked up the
loose ball and whipped in a great cross that
Skelton met at the far post and headed past
Rafferty from close range.
Half-time: Marske
United 1v0 Guisborough Town
We started the
second half well as Jones made a surging run
forward to get into the box before winning a
corner.
Ward powered Dom
Gamble’s flag kick inches over the bar from 8
yards.
Dixon broke away
past his marker and made his way towards goal on
67 minutes but took one touch too many allowing
Rafferty a chance to get out and save.
We doubled our lead
a minute later following a slick move. Dixon
played a good diagonal ball across field and
Jones beat Michael Roberts to get on the end of
it and guide the ball into the net.
Guisborough were
now dead and buried, having no Plan B to the now
dormant threat of Onions and Bythway.
Burto made a double
substitution soon after the second goal, Benn
Thompson replacing Skelton and Anthony Roberts
allowing Andy Raw a breather.
We had a golden
opportunity to put the game to bed with six
minutes remaining, following yet another
combination between the tireless Jones and
Dixon.
Jones cut in past
his marker on the left touchline and put in a
fantastic pass to set up Dixon, but after
getting away from the last defender, couldn’t
get past Rafferty, again choosing to try and
take the ball round him rather than shoot.
Full-time: Marske
United 2v0 Guisborough Town
Having edged a very
close first half, we upped our game in the
second half and ran out comfortable winners in
the end, sending our fans home happy in the
knowledge that we had completed a deserved
double against our near neighbours.
