Deeside Beavers 7 Neston Beavers 0

Neston Beavers made the cross Cheshire treck to Nantwich to play Deeside - confusing a number of parents who expected the game to be played somewhere near the Dee - the Ramblers part of their title perhaps giving us a clue!
With a large number of regulars away on half term holidays a tough game was guarenteed against a side who had beaten us earlier in the season. A number of players were having to play in new positions - which was good experience. Neston came under some pressure in midfield where Richard Capes and Scott Barry seemed to be out numbered. After about 10 mins Deeside scored with a deflection from a forward positioned in front of Alex Davies in goal. Simillar moves accounted for at least 4 of Deesides goals - something the defence will have to look at. In between Deesides attacks a number of good moves from Neston nearly created a goal, a good shot from Scott and move down the right leading to a cross from Will Morrison which led to a short corner. Although the score was 4-0 at half time Neston had worked hard.
The second half was much the same as the first with Neston defending well, Pete Harrison, Chris James, Greg Chester and James Chester all working very hard. James Chester cleared at least three ball on the line, one with his foot which led to a penalty which Alex saved. Alex made a number of good saves which helped to keep the score somewhat respectable. Three more goals followed in the second half, but only two short corners were conceded which is probably the lowest number this season. On the break Alex Greenhalf and Tom Fisher worked hard at half back and Ollie Eastwood, Greg Hughes and Will Morrison tried to get a break infron of Deesides goal. The nearest Neston came was a strong run by Scott Barry leading to a shot against the post and a couple of short corners that were hit narrowly wide.
The final score of 7-0 was probably a fair reflection bur Neston deserved to score at least one.
Man of the match - Scott Barry for a energetic performance in midfield.
Next game is away to Southport - time to be confirmed.
Thanks to the Dad's who helped with transport!
