Corby Pegasus Reserves 1    Moulton Reserves 0

Goal Scorer : Trim

We all knew that today was going to be a testing game, but with three wins out of three, confidence was high amongst the squad. Changes had to be made to the starting XI with an injury to Stephen McC meaning he had to sit out what was going to be his last game, but the return of Mark Sinclair more than eased that disappointment.

Moulton started the brighter and were on top in the opening exchanges, but did not make the Pegasus goalkeeper have to do any work. Pegasus finally got into the game mid-way into the half and the rest of the half was a fairly even contest. The best opportunity falling to Trim, after some excellent play down the left by Chwaz and Jamie, but Trim could not keep his shot from going over the bar.

Pegasus started the 2nd half much, much better and after a sustained period of pressure they finally opened a deserved lead. A shot came in from Danny Strat (not sure if it was on target or not) but Trim put his head to it and diverted the ball in the opposite direction and leaving the Moulton keeper wrong footed.

Moulton pushed and pushed for an equalizer, but Pegasus stood firm and again the Pegasus keeper was not made to work. In fact Pegasus looked the more likely to increase their lead as Moulton left themselves short at the back and Pegasus broke quickly on a number of occasions.

There was one last act of drama in the last seconds of the game with Moulton still pushing for the equaliser. A deep cross into the Pegasus box was met with a free header from a Moulton forward at the back post but a brilliant instinctive finger-tipped save by Lewis diverted the ball onto the bar and the danger was cleared.

So that made it four wins out of four and keeps the confidence and spirit high within the squad.  

Team: Lewis E, Chris H, Sean McC, Mark Sinc, Glen H, Jamie B, Danny Strat, Johnny Mac, Andy M, Chwaz & Trim.

Subs: Daniel Sinc, Soren, Gally & Liam F

Man of Match:  Trim – he lead the line brilliantly, with his tireless work-rate and came up with the all important goal.
