Match Report:
Purton's second home game of
the season, and their fifth league game, saw them playing
a return fixture against Shrivenham & Watchfield.
Shrivenham had been the only team to beat Purton so far
this season. Purton were looking to stretch their
unbeaten run to four games.
From the opening whistle,
Purton played some good football and were soon creating
chances. Midway through the half, a fine through ball
creating a chance for Kieran O'Driscoll. Kieran kept a
cool head in a one v one to give Purton a 1-0 lead.
Shortly afterwards, Kieran was again in the same position
and produced the same result...2-0. Shortly before the
half time whistle, Shrivenham scored to leave the game
finely balanced for the second half.
The second half mirrored the
first half with chances at both ends. Purton defended
well, with some last ditch clearances from Simon
Randlesome. With only minutes remaining, Purton were
awarded a free kick from outside the box. Dale Crabbe
swung the free kick over to a gleeful Kieran O'Driscoll,
who squeezed in a shot from a tight angle to complete his
hat trick and give Purton all three points.
