Dramatic finish at Bush Camp

 

Pennar Robins 2 – Clarbeston Road 2

 
Pennar Robins and Clarbeston Road fought out a fascinating draw where there was a dramatic finish at Bush Camp.
 

The early stages of the game were pretty even with the home side who missed an early opportunity to go 1-0 up until the deadlock was broken in the 25th minute thanks to a break down the right from Nick Willis who swung the ball in to brother Conner who swept home into the bottom corner, that’s how it stayed at the half time break.
 

Clarbeston Road equalised thanks to a burst from Ben John who broke into the box before the striker unleashed confidently past keeper Rory Williams.
 

This put the visitors right back in the game they as they started seeing more of the ball but were causing no threat as they came up against a solid home defence.
 

Pennar continued to attack as both teams wanted the win. Clarby then thought they’d won it until Rory made an unbelievable one handed save to deny “Rocky” a second, the rebound came back to him which was blocked and the third attempt struck the crossbar and went over!
 

In the 94th minute Ross Jones give away a needless foul on the edge of the box, the hosts were duly punished as Matthew Davies struck home a delightful free kick over the wall and into the top corner with the visitors thought they had snatched victory.
 

Straight from the kick off the hosts attacked down the right hand channel plus a cross into the box, cleared by the Clarby defence which landed straight to the feet of Kieran Smith in the 95th minute, he took a touch then rifled home a 30 yard rocket in the top corner which led to massive celebrations by the home outfit at the final whistle is this exciting encounter finished in a highly dramatic draw.
