A very important point won today after a relatively poor performance.

We really could have been three goals down after twenty minutes but Paul R did a couple of good tip overs and York's shooting was off the target..thank goodness!

We didn't play with anything like the fluency of recent matches and we never seemed to win the "second ball" at all. We steadied a bit in the second half after Miller came on but it was still York who looked more likely to score. Their keeper was wasting loads of time taking up to 20 + seconds several times to kick from out of his hands!!

Stanley to their credit didn't give up and their late pressure paid off at the death with a wonderful "
35 yarder" from Murphy giving us a point!

Sorry, it was actually
less than one yard but it was no less important than any "wonder goal". Daylight robbery comes to mind but I cannot stress
what an important point this could be..
It robbed York of TWO points and gave us one more on a bad day at the office! I was
chuffed for Peter Murphy to get the goal as he was very, very brave today. He got his
nose properly SPLATTERED in the first half by a back header form one of his team mates but he simply got back into the fray and
played his heart out. 
He deserved the goal. So well done Peter! Good to see us get something out of a game in an UGLY fashion for once!
ps We should have had a penalty just before we scored when a York defender cleared the ball off their goal line with his elbow. Also thought the Ref was pretty poor today. York fans were super in cheering their team on. Hope we both stay up and its the "Southern Jessies" that go down!
KEEP THE FAITH. ON STANLEY ON!!!
