Recap
D&A and New Wave Cafe met on Sunday for the final game of the opening weekend of the 2018 season. D&A scored first after some sustained pressure in the New Wave 18-yard box. Dave McHenry won a foul on the edge of the left side of the 18-yard box. The ensuing free kick from Dan Starr came back off the wall. Dan played it back into the box and an unlucky bounce off a New Wave defender at the back post took the ball into the far corner. The half ended 1-0.
The second half saw D&A’s second goal shortly after the restart. D&A’s midfield played a low clearance from New Wave into Everett, who headed on the bouncing pass over New Wave’s keeper from about the edge of the 18-yard box. 2-0 D&A. M. Dalton added a third on a ball forward from Miles on the left wing, taking the ball past the keeper to the left and slotting it in for D&A’s third. 3-0.
Lenny Hayes of New Wave had several chances on D&A’s goal throughout the game, including a called-off goal in the first half. However, in the second half, he scored New Wave’s first goal of the BVFC season with a darting run from the right wing and a right-footed drive into the far corner past the oncoming D&A keeper. 3-1. The game ended 3-1 after several chances from New Wave in the second half.
This was a well-played game on a beautiful Sunday to start the season for both teams. Thanks to Ricky and Josh for calling a good game.
