Match Report:
In their second game of the
new season Purton had a tough away game to Shaw. Purton
were looking to get their first points after the previous
weeks defeat.
The game began at a frantic
pace with attacking opportunities at both ends. Purton
fell behind to an early goal from Shaw with a shot from
an acute angle. Purton responded brightly and were
rewarded with an equaliser from Josh Harper after some
good build up play involving Jamie Baker and Ryan Norman. Shaw scored
again with a left foot strike to beat the goalie at the
near post. Half time 2-1.
Purton started the second half
looking for an opportunity to get back in the game. Again the play was from end to end but with good defending and
more pressure from the Purton attack. After going close
on a few occasions, Kieran O'Driscoll swept the ball
home at the near post to grab a deserved equaliser.
Play continued to switch from
end to end with good chances for both sides, but neither
team were able to add to their earlier goals. Final score
2-2.
