DIVISION ONE ROUND UP – 10th December 2023
Spires Athletic FC 2 Old Road FC 4
OLD ROAD SEAL SPIRES LEAGUE DOUBLE
On a wet and windy Leafy Lane pitch both teams played some very entertaining football in the first half but neither could find the back of the net. Old Road did get the ball in the net twice, but both were ruled out for offside.
Old Road started the brighter of the two teams in the second half and surprised the home team as they scored four goals in the first 25 minutes of the second half.
Aaron Holbrook scoring twice along with Sam Whittock and substitute Seamus Nickless-Mooney.
Spires did seem to come to life at this stage as Haydn Campbell’s shot from the edge of the area in the 80th minute reduced the arrears. Frank
Mvbuta’s header after a goalmouth scramble further reduced the arrears in the 87th minute.
The home team had however left themselves too little time as Old Road held on for a deserved 4-2 away win.
