ManUTactician247 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thanks I had a feeling it was unlikely now but wasn't sure whether there was still a chance. Not getting promotion was a slight disappointment but the team has certainly moved forward a long way from last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preview: With no promotion to aim for, I guess we're playing for pride, needless to say I want a good performance. 6 - Douglas turns and shoots before hitting it over. 7 - Douglas picks up a slight knock and is replaced by Boyd. 11 - GOAL! Templeton picks up the ball in a great position, gives it to Amos who has a go and Duff makes a mess of it as it goes in. 14 - Templeton to Amos again but this time it is straight at Duff. 18 - Goal disallowed for Brantwood as Browns cross is dive-headed in by an offside Amos. No arguments from Brantwood. 20 - GOAL! Jones plays in Smith who places it past Howard to equalise. 34 - GOAL! Reel has a go from the edge of the box and it goes in off the inside of the post! 45+2 - A loose ball falls to Amos who strikes it against the cross-bar! 45+3 - Half time Extremely disappointing to be behind, I'm putting my faith in youngster Howard but he seems incapable of stopping shots, hopefully we can recover in the 2nd half. 45 - Double sub at the break, Waters and Rowe for McGrory and Markey. 47 - Boyd is booked for a trip on Harper. 51 - Henderson comes on for Smith. 54 - Henderson sets up Hawkins from distance but hits it just wide. 56 - Nicholson trips Waters, yellow card. 61 - Rowe is tripped by Brown who is booked. 65 - Waters plays it through for Henderson who hits it well wide. 67 - Thomas' free-kick is headed straight at Howard by Henderson. 69 - Roberts has picked up a slight injury and is replaced by Anderson. 73 - RED CARD!

ManUTactician247 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 April 2013 Update Brantwood 2-0 Sport & Leisure (NI2D) For us: Tracey (32), Douglas (57) P.S.N.I. 3-1 Brantwood (NI2D) For us: Amos (20), Homes (50) For them: Flood (10), May (17), Canham (59) Warrenpoint 2-1 Brantwood (NI2D) For us: Amos (12), Boyd (74) For them: Smith (21), Reel (35) Summary: We're not exactly ending the season strongly, we started strongly with a professional win against Sport & Leisure before 2 early goals put us behind against PSNI, we looked like getting back in it before we were reduced to ten and they finished us off. We then took the lead at Warrenpoint but conceded twice more to put us behind before a red card put us down further. Promotion is impossible but I at least want to have a positive last two games.

This time it's the other McKee, Jaimes who converts after Murrays low cross. 44 - PENALTY! Edmunds sends in the cross and Nicholson pushes Waters, penalty for Wakehurst. Devlin is furious with the decision. 45 - GOAL!

That takes us all the way down to 7th.
