Bowdon Summer League Mixed

Thursday saw Lymm mixed take on the mixed allstars at Bowdon H.C.

Lymm started brightly taking an early lead through Alex Humphries drive down the left.

He drove to the base line and slipped it past the keeper.

Next saw Bowdon ramp it up as the midfield took control moving the ball at pace to the wingers.

This led to their first goal from a penalty corner. The ball was injected and slapped to the right post for a tip in.

After the restart both teams were hard to break down and the score remained 1-1 at the half.

In the second Lymm went behind early as we were caught short at the back and the attacker drove into the left side of the circle and fired accross me into the side netting with pace.

Lymm restarted and quickly moved the ball around the pitch and got some luck down the right with Buck and Boardman combining to cross for Jones, who puts it on a plate for Chung at the back post to make it 2-2.

Bowdon straight away took the initiative and pinged the ball around the back to open up gaps in our resolute defence, which led to the attacker gaining the circle on the left and firing low into the near post for 3-2.

Lymm didn't falter tho as a solid 15 minutes of pressure paid off as Arber, Chung, Arrowsmith and Humphries combined along the left and into the circle to put the ball on a plate for Jones with an open net to make it 3-3.

Final:   Bowdon Allstars 3-3 Lymm Mixed
