Report

Sunday 14th December saw Colts involved in their most exciting and eventful game this season. They staged a memomorial come back by by comming from 2-0 behind and winning the game 3-2 in the space of a dramatic 5mins. Most who witnessed the game would say that Marquis Of Lorne were very unlucky not to come away with anything from the game. In truth neither team created many chances. Marquis however did look more threatning with plently of dangerous crosses into the area. Colts reorganised in the second half and came out alot brighter, still there not much between the two sides when the deadlock was broken. Lee was called into action with two great saves and unfortunately for him, and Colts, one of the saves fell to their player who drilled the ball low into the bottom right hand corner.

Things went from bad to worse for Colts after Bartlett was judged to have brought down a Maquis player in the area, Lee had no chance as their striker converted, hammering it down the middle of the goal, 2-0. Colts were still struggling to create chances and were perhaps missing the creativity of King in midfield who was resting a sligh injury.
But after some luck Colts were right back in the game, The ball was delivered from the left into Neil Parker who miscontrolled - luckily the ball found its way to Lane who smashed a volley into the net, there were a few calls for offside but the flag stayed down. Shortly after Colts were level, Parker picked up the ball on the edge of the area and managed to thread the ball through the opposing players legs to find Lane who, like he did two minutes earlier, found the net with a smart side footed finish.

Colts started to believe that they could pull something off and went looking for the winner, they didn't have to wait long because after another minute Colts were in front for the first time in the game. It came when a pressured clearance from the goalkeaper fell to the feet of Sam Jones who unleashed a great strike from 25yds into the top corner. The comeback was complete and Colts managed to rescue 3points that looked very unlikely at 2-0 down.
