Depleted 9-man Reserves undone in Social derby (14.11.09)

Coventry Alliance Football League - Division 5

Bourton & Frankton Reserves 1 Bilton Social 5

A different story at The Field and the day's local derby.

The Reserves plight was blighted from the start with no less than four players not turning up, meaning they were short-handed from the kick-off.

Nevertheless the home side battled hard, never let their heads go down and kept on going, but Bourton were up against it from the outset and never really stood a chance.

Bilton were 2-0 up at half time and soon made it 3-0 after the break to kill the game. The home side got a goal back on the break through Adam Heath to make it 3-1 but two further Social goals late on made the final score 5-1. The scoreline as confirmed by the referee was perhaps not a real a reflection of the game and if anything a touch flattering for the visitors.
