A great start for our 65+ team in the 2021 AshaHealthcare Midlands Over 65s League with two wins from their two games. Information provided by player/manager Chris Keirl:
A successful day for Stamford! 2 wins and top of the League on goal difference from last year’s champions Oakham. Let’s see if we can stay there!
All results as follows:-
Stamford 3 Kimberley 0 (Monaghan, Curry, Smith)
Oakham 2 Bramcote 0
Alfreton 3 Boston 0
Stamford 3 Bramcote 2 (Monaghan 2, Curry)
Boston 1 Oakham 2
Kimberley 1 Alfreton 0
In terms of our matches 0-0 at half time vs Kimberley and game frenetic. You could tell players hadn’t played competitively for a long time. We settled down second half and played some good football running out comfortable 3-0 winners with goals from Monaghan, Curry and Smith.
2nd game we created lots of chances and should have put the game to bed sooner. But Bramcote came back from 1-0 and 2-1 down to level at 2-2 until a Curry solo run and goal clinched a deserved win. Monaghan scored the other 2 goals.
The playing squad was:-
Bill Whittle
John Hutchins(capt)
Graham Curry
Bob Wood
Frank Smith
Gerry Monaghan
Chris Keirl
The current league table after Matchday 1 is good reading for the Strollers.
