BARIS NCEL League Cup Quarter Final
Wednesday 27th March 2013
Louth Town 2 - 0 Staveley MWFC.

Two first half goals from Louth in a six-minute period were the difference as both sides finished this tough game with ten men.

Staveley manager Neil Cluxton (left) was once again forced into making a number of changes due to players being unavailable due to work commitments or cup-tied for the long trip to East Lincolnshire.

Overall his side once again showed good spirit but failed to create many goal scoring chances.

There were debuts for forward James Middleton (signed from Handsworth) who started the match, and for substitutes Nicholas Hawley (signed from Dronfield) and under-19 player Lewis Hayward.

Staveley's Jamie Smith was sent off after 72 minutes after receiving a second yellow card although he will argue, with some justification, that the first booking was a harsh decision by an inconsistent referee who incurred the wrath of supporters from both teams.

Both sides showed from the start that they were determined to try and play football with Staveley's left back, Lewis Jackson looking to get forward at every opportunity.

Pat Lindley had an early opportunity with a 20-yard run and shot but after that Louth started to show their attacking teeth. In particular their number 10, Matt Kennedy, who has played at a higher level with Rushden & Diamonds, Grimsby and Boston, saw plenty of the ball and showed good awareness and electric pace.

At the other end Pat Lindley created an opening down the right hand side and put in an excellent cross but unfortunately, none of his colleagues could get on the end of it.

It was starting to look like Staveley could see off the initial threat from Louth with right back- and Staveley's Man of the Match - Kyle Fores-Chambers (left) making several good interceptions and rising to the challenge.

Unfortunately they then conceded two quick goals - a feature of many recent games.

The first, on 28 minutes, came when a loose ball was not properly cleared and fell to Matt Kennedy. The forward showed good awareness to lob goalkeeper Richard Ayres, who had come off his line, and the ball bounced into an undefended goal.

1-0

The second on 33 minutes came from a close range shot by Louth forward Andrew Willoughby that took a wicked deflection and left Ayres with no chance.

2-0

Staveley created two half chances at the end of the first half when Ryan Damms turned in the penalty area but shot wide, then Lewis Jackson got on the end of a 30 yard free kick but rushed his shot which went harmlessly wide

HT: 2-0

There were few clear cut chances for either side in the second half and the main excitement came in the 72nd and 73rd minutes when Staveley's Jamie Smith (left) and then a Louth player were sent off in separate incidents after each received their second bookings of the night.

Experienced observers noted that these dismissals might have been avoided if the referee had taken a firmer, and more consistent, stance on unfair challenges earlier in the match.

Lewis Jackson, who looks to be a good acquisition by Neil Cluxton from Arnold Town, showed a good touch and composure on a number of occasions, pushing up into midfield when Lewis Hayward came on and went to left back.

Staveley made two chances of note in the final twenty minutes. A shot from Ryan Damms was deflected but unfortunately went harmless wide and substitute Ryan Watters also saw a shot go wide and not trouble the Louth keeper, who was hard to miss in a bright pink goalkeeper's jersey.

FT: 2-0

Whilst it was disappointing to lose to a lower league team who showed more physique than finesse, Staveley at least avoiding giving themselves an extra fixture to cram into an already busy end of season schedule.

For the record, this was Staveley's second chance in this competition this season as they were reinstated after Shirebrook fielded an ineligible player against them in the previous round.

It was also good to find an excellent fish and chip shop near to the ground - in may ways this was the highlight of the night!!

Staveley's next fixture is Saturday 30th March away to Armthorpe, kick off 3pm.

Staveley line up:
Richard Ayres, Kyle Fores-Chambers, Lewis Jackson, Pat Lindley, Joe Barrett, Oliver Woodhead, Jamie Smith, Scott Ellis (Lewis Hayward, 68), Ryan Damms, Kallum Nix (Nicholas Hawley, 46), James Middleton (Ryan Watters, 77).

Staveley Man of the Match:Kyle Fores-Chambers

Attendance: 69
Referee: Paul Cook (!)
Weather: 1.5 degrees C. A cool evening with a biting easterly wind.
