Deeside arrived at Caldy with 9 players and with Neston having a full squad of 15 it was decided that in the spirit of getting everyone a game we would "lend" them 3 players and play a 12 a side match.
The visitors soon got on top and pressurised the Neston goal forcing an excellent diving save from Alex Davies in goal. The Neston defence of Richard Capes, Tom Fisher and James Chester were at full stretch keeping Deeside at bay. As the first half progressed Neston gradually started to get some of the ball with Max Dutton and Sam Dewey working hard. Ironically Deeside's first goal came after one of Neston's rare attacks broke down and the Deeside foreward was able to slip the ball into the net. Neston attacked again and a short corner saw Scott Barry hit a shot just past the Deeside post. With the score at halftime only 1-0 to the visitors Neston had done very well to keep in the game against a side that had played a number of matches this season already.
The second half started with Deeside on the atatck again and it was not long before a second goal was added. Neston tried to put some attacks together with James Fennah working hard on the left, Ben Crane and Greg Chester competing for balls in the middle. As Neston tired Deeside got on top and scored some good goals, the best being a well worked short corner. The final score was 5-0 to Deeside, achieved with the help of Will Morrison, John Ford-Jones, Greg Hughes and Alex Greenhalf who all played some of the time for Deeside.
Remembering that this was Neston's first competitive game of the season and it was a first game for some of our players, we did really well against a very well organised Deeside team who had the benefit of having played a number of games already this season.
Man of the match - Alex Davies for an excellent display in goal.
