Ossy vs Dale Grossman
Grabs Glory Kildale match reports are back,
the absence is because Mutzvig has been to busy playing on the
amusements in Scarborough. Although due to DLF needing more hits on the
website and popular demand all the gossip and some fact from fortress
dale is here. After a poor start to the season the wheels are slowly
getting back on track for the Dalesmen and on Sunday it was a fourth win
on the bounce. Kildale had a squad of 17
available, although when the time came to set off for Ossy there was no
sign of Lewy, he was finally located somewhere in Great Ayton and
smelling like a brewery according to the Shirt who got him to the game
on time. When the game got underway it
was obvious that it was not just Lewy who had a few too many cheeky yals
the night before as Kildale started very slowly. Ossy took advantage of
this and grasped control of the game, creating a number of chances as
the dale struggled on a damp pitch. The pressure paid off after 15
minutes, when an Ossy midlfielder beat two players, supplied a deep
cross which was finished at the back post.
A number of good chances followed for the home side, the
highlight was a glaring miss from a free header maybe all of 5 yards
out. This caused Kildale’s tactical
supreme Shirt to make a change to formation, moving Jnr Gringo into the
middle and Hunty to the left. The change brought swift dividends as
Swerve won a 50/50 on the left wing and produced a great cross with his
standing foot, Kanu slipped but still somehow managed to shoulder the
ball home. 1 – 1 at half time, and the
Shirt was despairing comparing the lack of movement from his players in
the first half to a game of subuteo. The conclusion was that there was
more to come from the dale. A far better performance from
came in the second half as Kildale got their passing game going causing
problems for the Ossy defence. The goal of the game came when the Ossy
keeper had to come out to clear a through ball that Kanu was running
onto, his clearance fell to Spunky 45 yards out who controlled and the
stroked the perfect lob leaving the keeper clutching at air hooks. The
goal only spoilt by grossman’s celebration, he removed his shirt and
ran towards the sheep (obviously another night off from the mystery lady
at Cleveland Ave. and needed some woolly love!). Lewy had now found his feet in the game and when a free kick was awarded on the edge of the box he produced a brilliant shot that hit the underside of the bar and bounced out again to Grossman who took his time to slot home. There was time left for Lewy to be unlucky again as he hit the post with a volley. But it was job done for the dale 3 – 1 at the end and a big game coming up on Sunday against Unison, with selection problems for the Shirt as sweeper Sunley is away…who can fill the talismans boots?
