Young Millers Earn Vital Point

ISTHMIAN YOUTH U18 - SOUTH EAST DIVISION
GLEBE 2 CRAY VALLEY (PM) 2
Goals: G - Neziri 51, Sanford 83
CV - Eyin 26, Turner 44

The young Millers kept alive their chance to secure back to back league titles but were given a late scare by a determined Glebe side. Two first half goals and a hatful of missed chances gave Valley a comfortable two goal lead at half time. Such though is the unpredictability of football saw Glebe cause a real scare in the second half. They pulled a goal back shortly after the re-start and although Valley continued to create chances, one miss in particular from Obinna Igwe comes to mind, it was Glebe in the ascendancy thereafter. The equaliser came in the 83rd minute and it was Valley holding on at the end to earn a vital point.

Things had been very different in the opening half with countless chances being created by Valley as they passed the ball well. Victor Damyanov was a threat on the right and it was no surprise when the breakthrough came in the 26th minute. A throw in found Emmanuel Eyin in the box who found space to fire home past the keeper low into the bottom corner from 12 yards. Malachy Turner added a second just before the interval, breaking into the area and taking his time to calmly place the ball into the back of the net.

How things then changed in the second half. The point does mean though that Valley can secure the title on goal difference ahead of Welling United by winning their final game against Sheppey United which takes place on Monday at the Artic Stadium, kick off 19.45pm.
