Sticker 2- Exmouth 1       Bowyer with both, one a penalty

Watched this one and was a strange game. Sticker starting line up not including Duff, who has been outstanding this season and Lloyd both of whom apparently carrying niggling injuries. 

Exmouth should have scored in the first minute but as with the rest of the game their play in the final third was poor.  Whilst Exmouth had the ball in very promising positions more than Sticker they never really challenged the Sticker keeper - more on him in a bit. Jack Bowyer scored a typical goal for him, nipping in behind the defenders and sliding the ball past the keeper and followed up with converting a penalty from a foul on him by the keeper (Exmouth keeper should have had straight red - attempted to go for ball, missed it completely and then rugby tackles Bowyer?).  Exmouth best player was Ace High who was a continual threat in the air, however the Sticker keeper was strong against the high ball in - however he was beaten once by High and then clearly kicked High after the ball had gone  should have been another red. Sticker go in 2-0 at half time, strangely without playing too well.

Second half saw Exmouth starting more brightly with a slight fluke resulting in a looping ball hitting the cross bar. Ace High then scores a cracking header, pulling it back to 2-1 with 15 to go. All got a bit niggly then with silly fouls and it has to be said constant complaining, mainly from the Sticker bench - some poor fouls by both teams. Jack Bowyer missed two absolute sitters but service to him was wayward. The lad who played along side him looked very bright and a good replacement for Lloyd .

Game finished 2-1 and three valuable points for Sticker that should see them safe.

Overall Exmouth were poor attacking, Sticker without Duff in midfield were weak in that area. 

Officials had good games - missed a couple of decisions but overall tried to let the game flow.

I’m sure the value of the win affected some of the Sticker squad but they did deserve the points. Can see Exmouth dropping places every game if they don’t improve.
