More misery for Diss at the Unwin
The Eastern Counties League results so far this season have been unpredictable to say the least. Ely's have been a bit more predictable and perhaps a bit better than could be expected having beaten Clacton at home and Gorleston away and as would be expected losing to Dereham and Haverhill away. Diss have also had a mixed bag of results with their highlight being a 4-0 crushing of Great Yarmouth. Therefore despite the 4-0 thrashing that Ely inflicted on Diss in the Cup a couple of weeks ago it was difficult to predict what would happen last week.
Ely didn't exactly start where they had left off in the Cup, as the first 10 minutes were pretty open, although the Robins looked the most likely side to score, with Josh Bridgeman coming close on 6 minutes and Austen Diaper also having a fine chance on 10.
Five minutes later and Impey should have put Ely ahead from another pass from Austen Diaper, but he blasted it over. Ely were to continue where they had left off in the Cup though on 20 minutes when a Diss player handled the ball in the box. Luke Parkinson stepped up to take the penalty and this time he managed to get it in the net first time, although the keeper did manage to get a hand to it.
It was 2-0 to Ely on 40 minutes and 2 for Luke Parkinson when he managed to follow up on a rebound from a shot by Austen Diaper.
The second half continued with Ely having the upperhand and although their set pieces weren't that inspiring they looked like they might be able to make something from them just because of the sheer number that Diss were giving away. In fact both Chadwick and Impey came close in the opening stages.
After the first 15 minutes of the second half with Ely pressing for a third, the second 15 minutes were more mixed up with the teams spending most of the time messing around in midfield.
In the final 15 minutes Ely brough on some fresh legs and started to settle again. Strecki was clear through on 77 after beating several Diss defenders, but his final shot was that of a defender and it ended up in the trees behind the goal. Ely continued to press and even had a shot cleared off the line in the last 2 minutes, but the game was to end 2-0.
