🟦⬜️ STARTING XI & POTM 🟦⬜️
Town took a short trip over the county border to Hinderwell to take on a Staithes outfit who have had a mixed start to the season. 🚌
Town started the game well but were soon to find out the hard way which Staithes team turned up going a goal down from a corner after ten minutes, allowing a Staithes player to ghost in at the back post for a free header.
It went from bad to worse 2 minutes later when town were caught on the ball in the middle of the park and the Staithes forward hit a great effort from 45 yards to lob town keeper Harvey Gunn. 2-0 down.
Town were shook into life and responded instantly with a great ball from Nathan Dale finding Liam Fox to fire us back into the game with a cute half volley.
Town went on to hit Staithes on the break through loughran who was hauled down 25 yards from goal, up stepped James Clements to smash home the resultant free kick with a thunderous effort straight past the Staithes keeper as we approached half time.
2-2
Town were reminded of their qualities at half time with a rallying cry from the management team and it worked instantly with Pearson turning his man neatly and unleashing a 20 yard finish into the bottom left hand corner.
2-3
Town had taken the lead for the first time in the game and continued to dominate throughout. Town hit with 2 quick goals in concession through Thomson and loughran to take the game away from Staithes.
2-5
Town introduced new blood to the pitch with Hodgson, Warrior and Green entering the arena.
Hodgson made an immediate impact proving to be a menace on the right when finding Loughran in the box who was fouled and scored the resulting penalty.
2-6
The Redcar messi Matty Green provided the performance the management team know he’s capable of, when hounding the centre half and receiving the ball to be 1v1 with the goal keeper and slotting into the bottom corner.
2-7
James Clemo Clements rounded off a fine 70 minute performance by adding his second and towns 8th in the dying stages of the game.
