How low can you go?


sorry for what is a rather short match report to what was a new experience for me, but also an entertaining match yesterday. Ely City Reserves took on the old nemesis from the Cambridgeshire FA County League, Great Shelford. The first team might have finally taken care of them in the cup, but the reserves never looked like putting them to the sword despite taking an early lead.

The winds of change are definitely blowing through Ely though with Dennis Lightning being present at the reserves and 3 of the regulars from the first team Dixon, Lawrence and Bell also appearing for the reserves.

Ely took the lead early on through a penalty for a foul in the box, but by half time they were 3-1 down and minus a man after a defensive error from Lawrence, a penalty that saw the defender sent off and a goal that a better keeper would have had trouble handling.

Ely started off the second half more brightly and got back in the game with another penalty. However, they were left short at the back and Shelford scored another goal and despite some good substitutions by Ely it was difficult for them to get back in it with 10 men for two-thirds of the game. Final score Ely City Reserves 2 Great Shelford 4.
