Pot Black Boyd by last gasp winner!

Lowestoft & District Div 1 06-03-10

Beccles Caxton Res- 0

Pot Black FC- 1

Match Overview- With L'Orange shockingly having called of their previous match away at Barsham, oddly enough this week Pot Black found themselves on Beef Meadow facing a strong looking Caxton side with the Beccles sides first team having a week off with 'Hearts of Oak' summer target Kevin Riches starring.

The visitors were thin in numbers once again but in the absence of Adam Bird and Darren Laws a situation which would normally be a nightmare, Pot Black were blessed with the presence of Ian Wilson and Stu Canham.

The visitors on the day had turned out what has to be their oldest side with the average age of over 30, for the first time in a while looked reassured at the back and more importantly looked to be enjoying themselves before, during and after the game.

In truth the match was a midfield squabble with Kev Sherwood not being forced into a save all day, but the Caxton indecisiveness in front of goal was matched by Pot Blacks with Gav Hunt, Simon Durrant and Ian Wilson all going close.

Although in the dying moments Max Wall picked the ball up in his own half riding two fouls on his way to goal, before finally being brought down on the third attempt in the box.

Darren Boyd keen to make it 3 goals in 3 games, stepped up to the spot to fire home and snatching all 3 points for his side.

G.H.Windows & Doors M.O.M- Stu Canham, a rock at the back and never put a foot wrong.
