Bassett rocked by poor referee decisions

Lydiard to kick off, there was good passing on either side not much in it the ball being passed from end to end. Then a break for Bassett Scott passes to Tyler, but he hits it wide. Goal kick for Lydiard, which got caught half way, Lydiard on the attack now Bassett miss kick and Lydiard strike the ball into Bassett net 1-0. Bassett on the attack now gets a throw in which Callum takes good throw to Sam who couldn't convert. Lydiard makes a run towards our half good defending from Scott and Jack sends the ball straight back to Sam who shoots, hits side netting. Bassett seem to be in Lydiard half mostly with shots coming from both Ben and Callum but still not getting that goal I think we deserve. Lydiard now seem to be breaking and haves a shot Joe saves. Some excellent passing from Bassett working from both defenders to the forwards , Sam Callum Tyler and Ben striking at the goal but again all shots off target. Then a few minutes later Sam and one of the Lydiard players collide. Luckily both players get up and are unhurt. Lydiard gets a throw in which Jack and Scott clear, Lydiard come back on the attack passes the ball and the Bassett team shouts for hand ball and stop play but the ref plays on Bassett try to regain positions a little late Lydiard score. Bassett now again on attack but Lydiard get the ball and start to come back at us Scott tackles to win the ball and gives a long kick to Tyler but the ball hits a Lydiard defender and lucky for us goes into own goal. A bit of luck has finally gone our way! Half time and the score was 2-1 not looking good for Bassett.

Ben comes off and Josh comes on. Lydiard begin putting pressure on. Another shot from Bassett hits the crossbar. Again Lydiard counter attack but not challenging Joe to much. The game from now on has seemed to gone up a pace with equal shots from both teams. Josh passes a long shot to Tyler who hits the cross bar. Lydiard attacks again good save by Joe. Ben is on Tyler off another break by Bassett with super long passing but no goal. Callum off Tyler on Bassett on the attach again and there is confusion in the area and a goal for Bassett not sure who scored Sam or Tyler but IT'S A GOAL to us. Lydiard played more attackingly in the game from then on. Bassett began playing more defensively but going for every break they could. There were shouts everywhere for the ball, and Bassett then came onto attack more. Both teams were attacking. Lydiard had a shot and it went just wide. Bassett defends a rally of shots and Lydiard has to do the same with nearly all Bassett's players having a shot except our goalie. Both teams played good football shame about the hand ball and own goal more even run of play in second half. Final score 2-2. We could have had more goals!!!!!!!!! Remember boys play to the whistle!
