With both sides
having nothing to play for on a wonderfully sunny bank
holiday afternoon by the seaside, a free flowing
tussle between carefree opponents was just what the
doctor ordered. Sadly the doctor was off sick
and we ended up with a lifeless affair that will will
not live in the memory for long.
Terrors won their first corner after
twenty minutes and sustained a short spell of
pressure, but without creating any direct threat to
the Horsham goal. In the last five minutes of
the half Dean McDonald shot a free king over the bar
and, just before the break, good work from Pinnock and
Hamlin set up Paul Vines for the only shot of the
half, which was well saved by Tolfrey.
Half Time: Horsham
0-0 Terrors
Midway through the second period McDonald again
overshot the crossbar following some neat close
control under pressure. Shortly after Andy
Howell skimmed the crossbar with a shot/cross as he
cut in from the left wing. Horsham managed a couple
of half chances in the final ten minutes. First Seanla
headed wide from a free kick, given away by Dean
Hamlin on the edge of the area, then Savage also
missed the target with his head from a corner.
In between Paul Vines laid on a through ball for
McDonald to chase, but Tolfrey was alert to the danger
and calmly gathered in.
