Dronfield Minnows
Division 4j, League Of Champs
Manager: Wenger442
First half whipping for the Minnows
Today in our penultimate game of this season, we travelled to relegation rivals 'Athletico Heapsteurs' hoping for a win to help secure our place in Division 4J for next season.  In our second game, the team managed a narrow win at home to today's opponents and we wanted to gain another win away from home to get that vital three points.
 
'Athletico Heapsteurs' made a better start to the game and as the minutes wore on, they really began to dominate.  Eventually, they took the lead in the 26th minute and it was only what their pressure deserved.  We held on after that under tremendous pressure until on 42 minutes they got a second followed by a third on the stroke of half time.  This really sunk us and meant it would be a long 45 minutes to come.
 
Two minutes into the second half, we made our first change with Niguel Jesús making way for Erich Bünger in the midfield.  The team did have some success, after that but 'Athletico Heapsteurs' soon got back on top.  In the 79th minute, our second change saw Frants Haresøe come off to be replaced by Marco Lichtenberg again in the midfield.  Our last change saw Beltrán Lardín being substituted by Gavin Calderwood deep into injury time on 92 minutes.
 
Disappointing to lose the game in the first half and allow our opponents to close up to us in the table.  It doesn't look good for us as we face 4th place 'South Red Eagles' while our opponents face bottom of the table 'Pontypool' but we shall try our best.
