Dittisham Utd Vs Buckfastleigh Rangers Res
Dittisham Utd 1 - 2 Buckfastleigh Rangers Res
Rangers arrived in Dittisham in a confident mood following their first win of the season with the trouncing of Bovey Tracey; searching for their first away points of the campaign. The conditions and the pitch were unfavourable to Rangers who are used to vast amounts of room on their Duckspond pitch and struggled to cope with the narrow windy pitch in Dittisham. It was the home side who had the better of the opening exchanges with the Rangers defence struggling to deal with the swirling wind and Utd soon took the lead. The ball ricocheted along the Rangers area and was stabbed home at the far post, leaving Tim Mason stranded. 1-0.
After that Rangers found it difficult to escape their own half after a succession of throw-ins against the wind made it difficult to clear their lines. However once they found their rhythm, Rangers started to expose the frail Utd defence and were finding space in behind the back line. Nathan Parsons had a few decent chances but could not find his goal scoring form that served him well last week. Rangers’ main threat in the difficult first half was Josh Hannaford’s long throw-ins that were causing constant problems for the Utd defence. Rangers had more decent chances through Martin Potter and Nigel Stevens whose effort was inadvertently blocked by one of his teammates. None of the chances were taken though as Rangers went into the interval trailing.
The second half started positively as the Utd defence was regularly exposed and the visitors were getting closer to scoring as Utd found it difficult like Rangers in the first half to get out of their own half. The equaliser came after Potter chipped over a static backline and Parsons advanced into the area and lobbed over the keeper to make it 1-1. A just reward for all the hard work Rangers had done without having anything to show for it.
Further chances were created for the away side as they searched for the winner and had two very strong penalty appeals turned down on midfielder Declan Cowley. How Rangers did not get either was beyond them and especially assistant manager Neil Kindred. Rangers did get their winner though after Parsons raced clear again and coolly slotted the ball home and joins Hannaford on top of the goal scorers chart with three. 2-1. Utd were not finished though; and despite having very little of the ball and chances in the second half had a good effort on goal when their striker was laid off and his fierce effort into the near post was superbly turned round the post by Mason. It finished 2-1 and made it two wins from two for Rangers who have a difficult cup match at home to Abbotskerswell reserves.
