The scoreline flattered the visitors to Church Lane, it was never a 4-0 hammering. It seemed a strange match, with 8 of the Rolls squad being former Linby players. Linby were the better team first half, with youngsters Tom Walters and Mitch Duffin causing the Rolls centre backs Tolley and Hale all sorts of problems. The quality Rolls had told however in the last 5 minutes of the first half. Firstly Ricky Hodgson powered home a back post header on 40 minutes, then in the second minute of first half stoppage time, Dan Lee hit a sweet 30 yard volley into the top corner. So Linby went in at half time 2-0 down, after bossing proceedings.
Hesitation allowed Hodgson his second on 52 minutes and the game was virtually over. Linby then created numerous chances as Jonny Scott saw Craig Lindsay pull off a fantastic one handed reflex save, then he headed wide at the far post after good work from Mitch Duffin. Duffin himself put two one on ones wide of the mark, before against the run of play Joe Ashurst added a fourth goal on 80 minutes. FT 0-4

What planet are you on? Oh wait, suppose im not meant to take the bait, but that report had nothing to do with what took place
ReplyDeleteWas the score not 4-0? Are the scorers incorrect? Can only go on the information handed to me as I was not present at the match.
