It’s a draw! Coast Digital equalize in 5-a-side
On a warm evening in early May Coast Digital took on a team from Fenn Wright Estate Agents in the first in a series of after work friendlies.
Michael Richards reports:
The game started with us at a standstill and Fenn Wright racing ahead to a 3-0 lead. We were getting chances but despite this found ourselves further back as Fenn Wright scored again. We held a team talk which included some harsh words which seemed to do the trick.
We suddenly came to life, playing with grit and determination. Ashley Fletcher spearheaded our comeback with two goals in swift succession, but
Fenn Wright weren't about to roll over and a magnificent shot gave them back their two goal cushion.
We didn't have much time, so with an instant attack we brought the scores to 5-4. Richard Brenkley capped a solid midfield performance by drilling home to make it 5-5. Victory was almost ours if we could just muster one more attack and hold firm at the back.
Fletcher took Coast into the lead for the first time with only minutes remaining. But we were to be denied victory as the clock ran down and Fenn Wright levelled with a calm finish, making the final score 6-6.
Line up left-to-right: Ian Dunstan, Richard Brenkley, David Wharram, Michael Richards and Ashley Fletcher.
