Match Report:
Purton were looking to build on their good
win from the previous week with an away fixture against Old Town. Autumn
had arrived on a wet and windy day in Swindon.
The game was played end to end with chances
being created by good play and also by the wet weather conditions.
Midway through the half, Kieran O'Driscoll kept up his scoring run with
a right foot shot at the near post...1-0. Minutes later, Old Town
equalised with a left foot strike. As the half time approached, Oliver
Loveridge, burst through to round the last defender and coolly lift the
ball over the advancing Old Town goalkeeper, half time...2-1.
In the second half, their was no let up in
the rain and no let in the play. Again Purton attacked creating a number
of good chances. Eventually, Edgar Espinosa increased Purton's lead,
tucking the ball underneath the Old Town goalkeeper. Old Town responded
well, and were testing the Purton defence. Eventually Old Town scored to
reduce the deficit and make for an exciting finish. Chances were created
at both ends but Kieran O'Driscoll made the game safe with his fifth
goal in two games.
