Late goals deny Holwell Sports U18s all three points

IBSTOCK 3 HOLWELL SPORTS 3

THE first league match away from home on a difficult playing surface resulted in a draw, but Holwell could have returned with all three points.

After a steady start from both sides, Holwell opened the scoring through Curtis Channing after good work by Tom Mahan down the wing.

The visitors added a second goal just before half-time through a well-taken header from Jordan Wilson.

The second half saw a much tougher contest and Ibstock were awarded a penalty which reduced the arrears, but Holwell regained their two-goal advantage when Josh Gallagher headed in from a corner.

The last 20 minutes saw Holwell under constant pressure and two late goals, one from another penalty, meant the game ended all-square.

Holwell: C. Cropper, A. Morgan, J. Anderson, S. Dawes, M. Toon, J. Wilson, R. Kitt-Geraghty, T. Mahan, J. Gallagher, J. Heinzman, K. Channing, L. Koski, B. Meade, C. Mamos.
