Allenton 1 - 2 Sportslink

Looking to cement a place at the top of the league, Allenton visited a Sportslink side who have had a decent start to 2011.

A bad day for Allenton began missing the centre half duo of Jon and Paul and attacking options Bobby and Marc, meaning options were limited.

It didnt stop us starting well, a great free-kick from Andre saw Mick rise above the centre-half and plant a header in the top corner.

Sportslink equalised after a corner fell kindly to there midfielder and the sides went in level.

The second half was a crazy 45 minutes, Sportslink scoring early after a mix-up at the back. Allenton then commanded the game for the remainder, with Sportslinks manager saying if it was a boxing match, he would have thrown in the towel. Barry had at least 3 headers cleared off the line from one of our 15-20 corners, Mick headed against the post, Billy had a couple of chances, one of which went just over. Ryan also had chances but they just didnt fall for us on the day. Sportslink nearly extended their lead on the break only for Andrew's intervention.

A bad day considering the possession and chances we had but results elsewhere mean the title is still there to be won by any one of 6 teams.
