MATCH REPORT BY BOB TAYLOR
After taking an early lead and playing quite well for the first half hour, Brigg Town FC found themselves a goal down at half time and then went on to makes silly mistakes in the second half that were duly punished by the league leaders, ending the game with another heavy defeat.
With the advantage of a back wind in the first half, Brigg opened the scoring in the second minute of the game from a right wing corner kick, played across the face of the goal by Scott Matthews for MICHAEL JACKLIN to find the back of the net at the far post. Brigg continued to threaten and Elliot Broughton made a strong forward run down the left wing, getting past his marker before striking a low shot at goal but this lacked power and was saved low down.
The home team broke quickly down the left wing and Ben Saunders used his strength well to deliver telling crosses into the penalty area.
Coalville were back level after twenty-five minutes from a free kick conceded by Liam Dickens in a central position just outside the penalty area. CAMERON STUART struck a firm shot past he defensive wall into the unguarded corner of the net. Then a minute from half time, sloppy play allowed the home team to take the lead at a critical time. There appeared to be little danger when the ball was played back to goalkeeper Jake Kelly but Coalville regained possession and when it was played across the eighteen yard line, ANTHONY CARNEY turned neatly to hit a great shot into the roof of the net.
Scott Matthews went close early in the second half with a free kick into the goal area but Brigg conceded a third goal after sixty-three minutes from another harshly awarded free kick conceded by Paul Ashton outside the penalty area from which CAMERON STUART repeated his earlier success of finding the corner of the net with a well struck shot.
Brigg folded after that goal and made elementary mistakes of giving the ball away in their own half to gift the home team further goals, which were gratefully taken by CALLAM WOODWARD after seventy-three minutes and finally by DANNY JENNO ten minutes from the end.
Attendance: 125.
Next Saturday, Brigg travel again to face Mickleover Sports in Derbyshire.
