Match Reports

Birstall Utd 5 - 3 Blaby & Whetstone BC (9 Oct 11)

With the lead changing hands four times Birstall came from behind twice to earn a fantastic 5-3 win over Blaby & Whetstone.

Birstall took the lead when Tom Moule got to a rebound from Matt Joinson's free kick to poke the ball past the keeper.

Two lapses of concentration saw Blaby equalise and then take the lead from set pieces before half time.

With the elements behind them Birstall bossed the second half and a disputed goal from Tom Wilkes brought the scores level again.

The home side continued to run the game but were made to pay for a string of missed chances when Blaby counter attacke at pace to regain the lead.

With this coming against the run of play Blaby had a good few minutes of possesion before Birstall eqaulised again through a first goal for Mitchell Wright. It wasn't long before Mitchell ot his second and regained the lead for Birstall.

The scoring was completed with Tom Wilkes getting his second to earn a fully deserved win for Birstall.

There was some fantastic individual performances today lads but most pleasing was the team performance and effort you put in to the second half performance.

Lutterworth Athletic JFC 1 - 3 Birstall Utd JFC (2 Oct 11)

A comfortable 3-1 win for Birstall saw them through to the next round of the County Cup.

A stunning 25 yard free kick from Matt Garner after 10 minutes broke the deadlock. Tom Moule scored the second before half time.

On a very hot afternoon Birstall played the ball about leaving Lutterworth chasing the ball. The second half was totally controlled by the visitors keeping the home side to long balls and quick counter attacks.

It was from a rare visit into the Birstall box that a cross was turned home by a Birstall defender. This lifted the home side and Birstall had to and did raise their game again.

Putting a bit of directivity into their passing game Birstall created several chances before Tom Moule scored his second of the afternoon to complete the scoring.

Anstey Swifts 1 Birstall United 13 (13 Sep 2011)

The first round of the League Cup threw up a local derby with Birstall travelling to neighbours Anstey Swifts.

On a tight pitch Birstall started brightly and went ahead after two minutes through Dan Rudkin. 10 minutes later the Anstey keeper launched the ball forward, with the Birstall defence allowing it to bounce an Anstey striker got a head to the ball and lifted it over keeper Max Lewin to equalise.

Anstey used the long ball to cause Birstall problems in defence but it was the visitors who were the most clinical. Joe Dolby scored to regain the lead with Ismatullah Alizada and Tom Moule scoring before half time.

The second half was one way traffic with Birstall totally in control keeping Anstey restricted to long range shots. Tom Moule and Joe Dolby both scored twice to complete their hat tricks, Alizada and Rudkin both scored a second, Matt Garner scored after hitting the woodwork four times, Mat Joinson scored his first of the season and Tom Wilkes scored his first for the club.

It was a heavy defeat but the Anstey lads were still playing with their heads up till the last minute.

 

Birstall Utd 4 Houghton Rangers 2 (18 Sep 11)

A solid performance saw Birstall come out on top against a quick and strong Houghton team.

After a shaky start Birstall finally started playing the football they are capable of and getting in behind the visitors defence. The first goal came when Adam Ward picked the ball up and drove forward into the Houghton half. Just as he was about to be closed down by the defenders Adam let go of a fierce shot that flew over the keeper and dipped in under the bar.

The rest of the first half belonged to the home side and they doubled their lead when a corner from Joe Holland was met at the back post by Tom Moule.

The visitors were givena lifeline midway through the second half when when keeper Max Lewin was judged to have brought down a Houghton striker in the box.

The game ebbed and flowed and with the game equally balanced Birstall were awarded a penalty of their own for handball. Up stepped Joe Beattie to score his third of the season. Houghton never gave up and scored a goal of high quality to reduce the gap to one goal again.

This late goal spurred on the home side and a flowing move down the right wing ended with a cross being headed in by Tom Wilkes to complete the scoring.

Hinckley United Colts 1 Birstall United 2 (11 Sep 11)

Birstall kicked of the game with all the elements behind them. The pitch had a slope like the infamous Yeovil pitch and a strong wind that blew straight down it. With this all against them the home side packed out the defence and hit the visitors on the occassional counter attack.

The first half was wave after wave of Birstall pressure but they were unable to find a way through a packed home defence and the score remained goal less at half time.

The second half was a much more open match with the home side coming at the visitors.

With the elements against them Birstall's passing game worked better with the ball being held up and space being found behind the home defence. Despite having the better of the match and clearer chances Birstall fell behind to a penalty midway through the second half.

The visitors began chasing the game and Hinckley had a couple of chances to increase their lead before Adam Ward was unceremoniously dumped to the floor in the penalty area. Joe Beattie stepped up to bury the peanlty past the Hinckley goalkeeper and level the game.

This was the least Birstall deserved and they created several more chances before Matt Garner flashed a shot into the net for a deserved winner.

Birstall Utd JFC 2-4 Coalville Town (5 Sep 11)

Birstall lost the first game of their season 4-2 to a big, strong and well organised Coalville Town.

The visitors came flying out of the blocks and their nquick direct football caused Birstall all kinds of problems. Coalville went into a deserved two goal lead half way through the first half and Birstall appeared out of the game.

The home side pulled a goal back before half time when Joe Dolby scored his first for the team from close range

Coalville were put under a bit of pressure for the rest of the half and Birstall continued to boss the start of the second half.

Calum McChrystal put in a fantastic personal performance and was rewarded when he put in a defence splitting ball for Joe Beattie to run onto. Beattie controlled the ball beautifully but was brought down by the defender in the penalty area. Beattie took the penalty burying the ball in the top corner to score his first goal for the club.

Coalville hit straight back and scored a third whilst Birstall were still on a high. The home side were thankful to Max Lewin and some poor finishing from the visitors before they scored their fourth as Birstall were chasing the equaliser.
