Kenton | Claremont Avenue – Monday – 19th Oct 26 – 7pm-8pm

Man of the match

Yellows storm ahead

Monday night in Kenton brought nine goals and very little rest for the goalkeepers. Yellow Bibs struck first on 7 minutes, when Jonti Chisholm did well to keep out two shots, but Malik Johnson followed up on the rebound to make it 0–1. Johnson then turned provider on 15 minutes, finding an open Khushal Rawal for 0–2.

Reds roar back

The Reds answered within a minute. Damilare Olatunde whipped in a well-placed cross and Taylor Payne flicked it past the keeper for 1–2. Yellows hit back on 18 minutes with an excellent counter-attack, Jaycee Gibbons setting up Rawal for a clinical finish and 1–3.

Back came the Reds. Charles Izunwanne took a quick corner on 28 minutes and found Payne unmarked in the middle, who headed home to make it 2–3. On 36 minutes a slick transition put Izunwanne in behind, and he calmly placed the ball into the corner for 3–3.

Johnson settles it

Rawal grabbed his hat-trick on 38 minutes from another Johnson assist to make it 3–4, but Izunwanne levelled again on 43 minutes at 4–4. The decider came on 50 minutes. Johnson produced a brilliant solo run and unselfishly laid the ball off to Gibbons, who had an open goal to make it 4–5.

It was tight and end-to-end all night, but Johnson, busy at both ends of the pitch, tipped it the Yellows' way.
