Ely City V Mildenhall Town
Last night's game was entertaining enough and Ely deserved to come away with at least a point.
The game started off well with both teams creating chances on what was a skiddy and fast surface. However, it was Mildenhall who drew first blood and went ahead on 20 minutes when ex-Ely player John Sands put the ball in the back of the net. After a few more good chances for both sides Ely scored an equaliser on 34 minutes when James Wallace piled the ball in from a 35 yard free kick. Ely could have easily been a head just four minutes later when Chris Sterecki was clear through only to be foiled by the last defender. Unfortunately, the half ended in a bit of stupidity when Richard Chadwick clashed in what looked like an accident with the Mildenhall goalkeeper, it didn't appear that the Mildenhall players and referee agreed and he got booked and Robbie Mason followed him after giving it some back chat.
The second half started off lively enough and it was Ely who dominated for long periods. However, Mildenhall hit the post on 65 minutes and Lee Pacey pulled of a few couple of saves in the same period. On 71 Minutes Ely also came close to equalising and on 80 minutes Ebanks-Blake who was on for Chadwick should probably have had a penalty, but it wasn't to be. It looked like Ely would be travelling back to Cambridgeshire with a point, but no. On 85 minutes Mildenhall got a winner when Adam Dalby was caught playing the ball out of defence.
It was a pity as he had had a good game, as had all of the defence with Adam Murray probably being man of the match.
