BLETCHINGLEY 1-2 BATTERSEA IRONSIDES

It was a hard fought game, with both sides cancelling each other out in the first half. Ironsides had just a Duncan Kent-Smith chance to show for their endeavours. The second half started in the same fashion, and with the Ironsides taking their game to another level, some good football created a chance for Julian Green that he was unable to convert. The ball went straight down the other end, with the Bletchingley forward skipping past Robbie McMahon and Joe Galea to slot in at the near post. The Ironsides then showed their character, when a long punt from Roy Smithen and a good dummy by Duncan Kent-Smith allowed Julian Green to run free on goal, and to comfortably slot passed the keeper. Five minutes later, a ball flicked on by Tiro Pascale came straight back to him after a miscue from the Bletchingley defender, and with a one touch volley over the defence, Julian Green was set clear on goal, and with his regained confidence slotted past the Bletchingley keeper for a second time to secure Ironsides the points.
