Mac
Industries continued their unbeaten start to the
season with this 25-6 triumph over Mierosoft FC
in front of the Sky Cameras. A full house of
18,000 was packed into the Hamsters Cage, as the
league new boys were the visitors. Jamie Jones
missed out with a scrotum injury, which gave Ben
Walmsley the chance to shine following promotion
from the youth team. Doug Lane returned at the
back for his first start since April after
suffering from heart trouble, and Jamie Farhall
had a revised role behind the front 2 of Chapman
and Colin. Captain Tom Walmsley moved back to
partner Lane in defence, allowing Bert Lloyd to
play in the anchorman midfield role, while
Director of Football Scott McCarthy started in
between the sticks
Mierosoft
gifted the Hamsters the first goal of the game,
when a quick goal kick was played to a defender,
who attempted to knock it back to the visitors
keeper. However, he completely missed it, and
the ball went straight into the back of the net.
Mierosoft soon showed that they had not come to
be walked over however, and almost pulled
themselves back into it, McCarthy being forced
into a superb one handed save to deny Dave
Riley. Mac Industries had a golden chance to go
further ahead, when Dan Collin pulled the ball
back for the unmarked Peter Chapman, but the
usually-reliable striker somehow screwed his
shot over the bar. Mierosoft made the home side
pay for that error, when a shot from Riley was
stopped by McCarthy, but the re-bound was stuck
away by Rob Osbourne. Debutant Ben Walmsley soon
put Mac Industries back into it, with a neat
goal, but Mierosoft pulled it back again - this
time a quick break saw Kieran Elliott strike a
perfect shot, which rocketed past McCarthy into
the corner of the goal, much to the delight of
the traveling fans in the Tom McCarthy Stand
The
warning signs were there from the visitors, and
Mac Industries knew they would have to step it
up a gear in order to get a result. They soon
did what was necessarily, with Jamie Farhall
netting, followed by 2 from Dan Collin. Captain
Tom Walmsley got in on the act, netting a
quick-fire hat-trick to put Wanderers 8-2 up.
Jamie Farhall then incurred a nasty injury, when
he battled extremely well to keep the ball in,
only to slip over on the perimeter track,
injuring his knee in the process. Dan Collin
completed his hat-trick by making it 9-2, and
Farhall got his second, followed by another 2
for Collin. The Hamsters went into half-time
with a 12-2 advantage.
Mac
Industries started the second half well, and a mazy
run from Chapman saw Jamie Farhall played in,
and he squeezed between 2 defenders to add
another goal for the home side. Mierosoft,
buoyed by there fine first half performance,
came out all guns blazing in the second half,
and Kieran Elliot pulled them back into the
game, his second goal coming after McCarthy was
too eager to rush off his line. Ben Walmsley
then netted his second of the game, before Dave
Riley made it 14-4, nodding the ball over
McCarthy after the Hamsters keeper misjudged a
cross. Kieran Elliott was again on the score
sheet, but this time it was for an own-goal, to
make it 15-4, and then goals from Dan Collin,
Ben Walmsley and Tom Walmsley made it 18-4.
Dan
Collin then showed why he is one of the most
dangerous strikers in the land, as he kept the
ball in the air, flicking it over 3 players
heads before drilling a shot past the Mierosoft
keeper, after which Dave Riley pulled another
goal for the visitors, making it 19-5. Bert
Lloyd finally got on the score sheet, before a
Farhall own goal made it 20-6. Peter Chapman
finally added the goal he deserved for a
tireless performances late on, and this was
followed by finishes from Tom Walmsley, and the
last 3 goals coming from Ben Walmsley, to take
his tally for the evening to 6 and wrap up a
fine evenings work by Mac Industries
