MATCH REPORT:
Thornaby (Home): League Cup, 23rd
September
2009.
F/T 7-2 (W):
Scorers: Thompson 3, Cochrane, Swallwell, Chillingsworth,
Erskine
Following defeat at
Brandon, Burto made three changes to the
starting eleven. Anthony Roberts replaced Adam
Blair in defence and Andy Swalwell returned from
injury replacing the unavailable Derek Bradley.
New signing Tom Raw
was put straight into the side as we opted to
play a 4-3-3 formation for the first time this
season.
We started with all
the early possession but created little with it
in the final third except for a weak overhead
kick from Carl Chillingsworth that Kevin
Winspear easily gathered.
Thornaby came close
to breaking the deadlock after 14 minutes
following a free kick into the box. The ball
fell to Stephen Hodgson who smashed a first time
shot narrowly over the bar from 10 yards out.
Tom Raw beat the
offside trap on 17 minutes to chase a ball over
the top but Winspear made connection with the
ball first as it wouldn’t come down for Raw.
Marske led direct
from a corner on 23 minutes as the visiting
keeper just stood and watched as Steve
Cochrane’s flag kick sailed in at the far post.
Josh Myers received
the first caution of the match on 25 minutes for
a hard but fair challenge on Matthew Crossan.
A poor free kick by
Thornaby gave possession straight to
Chillingsworth who sent the ball forward for Tom
Raw and Benn Thompson to run onto, the latter
doubling our lead with a low shot to the keepers
right from just inside the box.
Immediately from
the kick-off, Daniel Dawson took it upon himself
to try and attack, dribbling past four Marske
players to get into the box but lashed his shot
well off target.
Tom Raw’s debut was
short lived as he hobbled off with an ankle
injury five minutes before half time, Owen Dixon
his replacement.
Right on the stroke
of half time Chillingsworth did well to
dispossess keeper Kevin Winspear without fouling
him and Thompson struck home the loose ball into
the empty net.
Half-time: Marske
United 3v0 Thornaby
Five minutes after
the restart Dixon jinked his way past two
defenders down the left wing and into the box.
He struck a low shot past Winspear but also just
wide of the far post.
Winspear was again
at fault for a goal as we made it 4-0 on 52
minutes. Thompson completed his hat trick after
he managed to block the keepers clearance
resulting with the ball ricocheting into the
goal.
Thornaby pulled a
goal back on 56 minutes as Roberts failed to
deal with a long ball over the top and former
Teesside Athletic striker Daniel Drazdauskas
finished well into the top corner.
Swalwell made it
5-1 two minutes later with the goal of the game,
Winspear getting nowhere near his 25 yard
strike.
The referee blew
for a foul on 63 minutes as Josh Myers won a
header in the Thornaby penalty area despite a
high foot from a defender.
Having not pointed
to the penalty spot, the Thornaby players
presumed they had been awarded a free kick and
ran off down the pitch only to find out the ref
had given us an indirect free kick from inside
the box. Thompson reacted quickly and teed up
Chillingsworth to blast home the ball into the
top corner.
With the game out
of sight, Burto brought on Adam Blair and Shane
Erskine for Myers and Chillinsworth.
Thornaby pulled it
back to 6-2 with three minutes left. Thompson
mishit a clearance from a Thornaby corner and
Dean Fox blasted home from the edge of the box.
Brendan Ledgeway got a hand to the ball but
there was too much power on the shot.
In the final move
of the game, Shane Erskine got onto the end of a
ball over the top and contolled well before
finishing past Winspear from the edge of the
area, scoring his first senior goal for the
club.
Full-time:
Marske United 7v2 Thornaby
The way we have
been playing of late it was only a matter of
