Greyhound Athletic 2008/09
Derby Taverners League , Belper, England

Greyhoud ease to win

Greyhound Athletic started the game with Stand in Keeper Gaz Smethem, due to Big Nev Barkers injury. Greyhound took an early lead through Tommy Carter, who fired the ball ball home past the keeper after running onto a through ball from Ross Allsopp. The lead was cut short when White Hart equalised. Their right midfielder was found in loads of space by the striker for him to run into, Gaz Smethem came out to early and the player stroked the ball home.

Dan Mitchell then had to go in goals due to the an repetative thigh strain that has been plauging him all season. With Chunky Smethem now at the back. Hart had some good spells of possession and Dan Mitchell pulled of a couple of good saves. It was one - one going in at the break.

In the second half the introduction of Tim Bradley and Dave Flinders looked to be a good one, Greyhound had a lot of possession and the passing was good. It wasn't long before Tommy Carter grabbed his second a good reward for all the running he had done. This took the pressure of Greyhound who by now were controlling the game, with 20 minutes to go, Tommy Carter picked the ball up mid way in the Hart half and ran with the ball dribbling through watching defenders as he got to the line he passed across the box to find Dave Flinders waiting for the ball and tapped it in past the diving keeper. Dan Mitchell's work was not done he bossed his box and won everything in the air, however had to pull off to more great saves to deny the Hart another goal.

3 - 1 the final result  with Tommy Carter taking Man of the Match with 2 goals and an assist he never stopped running.
