High octane clash at the Obs

 

Hakin United 4 – Goodwick United 4

 
Games between Hakin United and Goodwick United are rarely  dull, and this high octane affair at the Obs proved that with eight goals, three sent off, as both top teams shared the spoils at the final whistle.
 
The ten-man Vikings took the lead twice, only for the nine-man Phoenix Lads to get back on level terms in late dramatic fashion.
 
The Vikings took an early lead as Leon Luby set-up Shane Walsh, the latter made no mistake at the far post.
 
However, it was short lived as the visitors hit back as Rhys Jones threaded a neat through ball to Will Haworth who to comfortably beat goalkeeper Ashley Bevans.
 
The visitors rocked the Vikings as they grabbed two further well taken goals through Rhys Dalling and Howarth, the latter added his second of the games as they led 3-1.
 
Back came the Vikings in positive manner as Walsh grabbed his second and Ben Aldred levelled matters from the spot as it read 3-3 at half time.
 
The Vikings were reduced to ten-men as debutant Alfie Stotter (signed from Merlins Bridge) was red carded for a two footed tackle, also Dalling was issued a straight red for violent conduct.
 
Shortly after the break the visitors were reduced to nine-men as centre back James Dean was issued a red card for hand ball which referee deemed as he destroyed a goal scoring opportunity, up stepped Aldridge, as cool as you like he found the back of the net to put his side 4-3 ahead.
 
With only two minutes left the visitors equalised with a terrific goal, a pinpoint cross by Jake Smith was met by super sub Nathan Greene who crashed the ball into the back of the Vikings’ net with a 12 yard bullet header.
 
Goodwick boss Chris O’Sullivan confessed shortly after the game that he was happy his side got a point and they remain top on superior goal difference, whilst opposite number Justin ‘Skinny’ Harding will feel his team should have closed the game out.
