Craven FA Minors End On A High
April 18, 2010
Minors end on a high: Craven 2 v 1 Barkston Ash
A glorious Spring afternoon in Settle greeted the players, the pitch had been well prepared but the hardening surface caused the ball to rear up making it hard for the teams to play too much fluent football. The initial exchanges went the way of the visitors, the home defence were indebted to Peter Messenger as the covering right wing hooked the ball to safety as Barkston Ash pressed forward and a series of corners ensued but Craven goalkeeper Jamie Oldfield was largely untroubled. Five minutes in and the home side eventually settled, a first threat occurring as forward Sam Woodrow pressured a defender into a mistake which saw the ball break to left wing Matthew Cardus but his cross drifted over the bar. Midfield man Ben Crabtree lifted a thoughtful ball into the penalty area but the visitors scrambled it away for a corner.
It was an open game with neither side in the ascendancy for any length of time. Craven’s back four of full backs Sam Beaumont and Jack Schindler with captain Sam Webster and Bradley Fielden in the heart, ably supported by central midfielders Ben Crabtree and Jake Kelly with forward Josh Griffiths always willing to help out, largely restricted the visitors to long range efforts. Unfortunately, with half time approaching, one such speculative shot evaded Oldfield’s clutches and spun agonisingly back into the goal to give Barkston Ash the lead. The setback was only temporary, Craven attacked from the restart, Messenger winning yet another challenge in midfield and Kelly was on hand to advance and deftly slide the ball past the advancing goalkeeper for a deserved equaliser on the stroke of half time.
Craven were soon on the attack in the second half, Cardus crossing in from the left and the ball just evaded both Woodrow and Mesenger. Griffiths used his strength to hold the ball and then played a probing pass into the danger area, and both Webster and Beaumont played searching balls into the area. With an hour gone manager Ian Longden shuffled the pack, Sam Coombs was introduced at left back, Schindler moving into central midfield with Crabtree deployed as striker as Woodrow was withdrawn having battled hard against a mountainous defence. The visitors too had made changes and were looking dangerous down their left flank, Coombs doing well to avert the danger from a couple of crosses and Beaumont producing a fine headed clearance off the line from a corner.
Craven’s composure returned and they regained the initiative, Crabtree went on a determined run and delivered a fine cross, Man of the Match Messenger had made a great run into the penalty area but mishit his shot wide of goal. Cardus fired in a shot from wide left which had the Barkston Ash keeper anxiously scrambling across his goal line. Sam Arrowsmith replaced Griffiths for the final ten minutes and Craven grabbed the winning goal as Messenger won the ball yet again and Crabtree coolly lofted the ball over the keepers grasp and into the net.
