Clan Alumni / Norvan
A really good game on the Turf Saturday as both teams really went for a result. I would say that Clan had more possession (maybe 65%) and created more chances but I think a draw was a fair result. 0-0 at half. Awarded Clan a PK mid-way in the 2nd half as Tony Sun was fetched down in the box. Only problem was that he threw his arms out to embelish the tackle but it was still a PK. Felt for the Norvan lads as everybody hates to see that shite but the keeper came up with a big save and stoned Clan.
5 minutes later, Clan went ahead with a shot that went in from about 12 yards out into the corner. 13 minutes left and Norvan pushed hard for a goal ..... their centre back got deep into the corner, beat the Clan defender and laid a nice ball back to an oncoming midfielder who slotted it. 1-1 with both teams pressing for a goal. I would say Norvan had the best chance in the remaining time with their centre midfielder skying over a beautiful chance 12 yards out.
Don't know if playing on the turf was ideal for both teams as obviously the ball runs a lot faster and incurs loss of possession more often than usual. But, a good, fast paced game and with a draw makes things very interesting .......
Cheers .....
