Match Report
Match Report - 20 Oct 2019, Clapham Rovers Clapham Rovers drew with Battersea Park Rangers
Rovers!
Battersea Park Rangers 2 – 2 ROVERS
We finally shook off a long held hoodoo and gave BPR a match for a change. We didn’t quite shake off the propensity to concede preventable goals but considering the saves that Pybus made throughout and the shift BPR made us put in, a draw was about the right result. All we need now is to do that every week! Simple!
Seriously though, it was a helluva shift from 1-16 and it was a delight to see so many new and old faces a) show the determination to grab the point b) make a difference from the off or from the bench and c) see so many people in the pub afterwards. You can’t buy that team spirit and let’s keep it up for through the season.
1-0 – BRP go ahead after a really bright start from the Rovers. A rudimentary ball is floated in from the left and nodded in by free BPR attacker.
1-1 – In the second half, James Ellenger stormed down the left wing and pinged the ball in for Tim Louis to head home.
1-2 – We go head when James Ellenger once again puts in a great cross for Fordy to score on his debut as he nipped in front of the keeper and flicked the ball over him with his bonce.
2-2 – From our own corner the ball is cleared long down field into space for a BPR attacker to latch onto as Al couldn’t quite head clear. The BPR strikers finishes expertly passed Pybus.
MOM. James Ellenger takes his 2nd MOM of the season in succession for covering every blade of grass (said this last time too) and delivering 2 assists. Stunning selection from the Gaffer to play him in an unfamiliar left wing position.
Sunday 27th October Fixture
We take a break from League action to begin the journey to the final at Sutton in the Southern Sunday League FA Cup where all the teams go into the hat.
We’re up against League 3 side Sporting Club Balham and we need to shake off the hoodoo of going out in the first round to sides in leagues below us which we have done on 2 previous occasions.
