Season Opener at Clywedog Park

By

Brickfield Rangers play host to Saltney Town FC for the 2016/17 Season Curtain Raiser.

 

A lovely day at Clywedog Park saw Brickfield's opening day fixture for 2016/17 season. The investment is paying off as the ground is looking excellent as we strive for the 2020 vision of Welsh Premier League Football.

Nothing to separate the two teams early doors, with just a header over the target from a Brickfield free kick of note.

Brickfield looked to get the ball forward quickly, sweeping the ball around and gaining ground down the right, resulting in a corner which the Saltney defence dealt with accordingly.

On the half hour mark, Sam Molyneux beat the Saltney offside trip to race through and put Brickfield 1-0 up with a clinical finish. Saltney argued that he was offside but this feel on deaf ears.

Harsh words must have been spoken at half time as Saltney came for the 2nd half a different team, playing more assertive, direct football which resulted in the equalizer from Jack Roberts who redirected a low free kick from the left. This was the kick up the bum the Saltney team needed as a well struck drive from their captain quickly followed, which had Terry McCormick scrambling in the Brickfield goal.

Brickfield were unlucky to go 2-1 up on 69 minutes as a goal was chalked off by the referee who gave a free kick against Brickfield in the Saltney box.

This was soon forgotten a couple minutes later as again Sam Molyneux broke free of the Saltney defence to slot the ball away and put Brickfield back in the lead 2-1.

Sam Molyneux only had to wait a further 5 minutes to complete his hat trick as he pounced on an error in the Saltney defence to neatly finished the chance off.

Saltney did come on string in the last 10 minutes with an efforts crashing against Terry McCormick 's cross bar and a weak header by the Saltney striker who had more time than what he thought.

All in all a good start to the season and undefeated going forward.
