Martham A - 13.02.10



CARPATHIANS 3 - 5 Martham A

Carpathians began brightly on a heavy pitch and made the early running.  This led to Carpathians taking an early lead when a Gavin Sweeby corner was put away by NATHAN MARSHALL on 9 minutes.  

Martham began to take control as Carpathians' play
became more eratic and they equalized after 33 minutes.

This was followed by a
mix up between defender and keeper which led to Martham taking the lead on half-
time.

The second half saw chances for both teams in blizzard conditions, which
saw Martham edge further ahead with a shot over the keeper and off the crossbar
after 62 minutes.

Carpathians mounted a spirited fightback and NATHAN MARSHALL
completed his hat-trick with goals on 72 and 76 minutes to equalize.

Unfortunately, with a defence which had endured five changes throughout the game, Martham capitalized on defensive errors to win 5-3.

Not much passing or
communication in evidence this week which ultimately let us down.
