Match report: Cowes Sports 1 v Lymington Town 1, 11 August 2009

The Yachtsmen maintained their early season form on Tuesday evening, taking a point from a Lymington side who had won at Moneyfields on Saturday.

Both sides created decent chances in the first half, the visitors’ keeper thwarting Alex Harvey and Harry Dye on three occasions , while at the other end, Chris Norris twice had to be alert to keep the scores level at half-time.

Lymington looked quite capable of taking all three points, wasting a couple of good chances and Alex Harvey, latching on to a back-pass, was again denied by the keeper

Lymington took the lead after seventy minutes, Ollie Forbes squeezing the ball in at the near post after Chris Norris had saved his first effort.

Cowes deservedly equalised ten minutes later, when Gareth Bricknell’s free-kick was headed back at the far post by Harry Dye for Alex Harvey to pounce with a close range header.

The visitors almost snatched it at the death but an acute angled shot hit one post, rolled along the goal-line and came out off of the other post, to climax

A thoroughly entertaining game, fully appreciated by the big Westwood crowd.
