First half deficit proves too much for Dynamo
PITCHING IN NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE MIDLANDS DIVISION COLESHILL TOWN 2 LOUGHBOROUGH DYNAMO 1
LOUGHBOROUGH Dynamo fell to a 2-1 defeat away at Coleshill Town, writes James Kendrick.
It was a game impacted by the weather conditions as both teams had a half each where they could use the wind to push them forward.
In the first half Coleshill Town were able to use the wind effectively by winning the coin toss and turning the teams round before kick-off.
Dynamo had two very good chances in the first 20 minutes of the game. First Kevin Bastos was released through the middle by Jake Finnerty but his shot went wide of the post.
Then soon after Kyle Jardine aimed for the back post with his cross and Tristan Matthews came flying in to meet it but couldn’t get his effort on target.
Apart from those two chances, Dynamo struggled to get out of their half at times and Coleshill Town grew in strength as the half went on.
On 26 minutes the deadlock was broken. Coleshill broke down the right and found Joe Phillips in the box who did well to turn and get a shot away with a great finish.
Coleshill continued to push and just ten minutes later a mistake by goalkeeper Jay Alexander was punished as he didn’t connect with his clearance properly and it fell to Gio Dainty who lobbed the goalkeeper and the defender on the line to make it 2-0.
Dynamo came out in the second half knowing that they needed to improve in order to get anything out of the game.
They had also been forced into a change as Kevin Bastos took a knock in the first half and needed to be replaced. Dynamo did improve in the second half but at times still struggled to break Coleshill down.
Kyle Jardine got the Moes back in it with just over 20 minutes to go as Aimé Kamdem did really well to beat his man on the right and get a cross in and Jardine’s thundering header clipped the bar and found the net to make it 2-1.
Dynamo pushed on after they got one back and they did come close to scoring in the final few minutes.
Curtis Burrows hit the bar from a free kick 30 yards out which was the closest Dynamo got to equalising.
However, Jardine’s goal turned out to be just a consolation for Dynamo and they fell to another frustrating defeat.
