Going into Wednesday's game you would be forgiven if you thought Moorfield were favourites considering the games in hand they have. But Allenton aimed to write the script from the first kick and started the first midweek game of the year in such a high gear.
It should have been 11 v 10 early in the game, a brilliant move saw Billy clean through only to be taken from behind. A free-in and everyone expected the red to follow, but the ref kept his cards in his pocket.
Allenton went in front when Mick turned his man on a breakaway and fed Marc Gahan to slot under the advancing Moorfield keeper.
As the half went on, Allenton had some good spells, and all the work was undone when we conceded a 4th or 5th free-kick within range, and the No.11 duly obliged by leaving Kevin stranded.
Second half, we took the game to Moorfield, with the back-four performing well under pressure, giving us a platform to get the midfield further up the pitch.
It finally paid off when Marc Gahan was felled and converted the subsequent penalty to make it 2-1.
Just when you thought there would be no-more twists and turns, Moorfield equalised and it was game on again.
The game should have been beyond Moorfield at this stage, Marc Gahan failing to complete his hat-trick from close range.
With 7 to go Bobby stepped inside and launched a spectacular effort in the top-corner and we were almost there.
Only for a terrible decision of a penalty against us in the closing 2 minutes, which Kevin got a hand to, we wouldve collected all 3 points.
