Didsbury go top of the league after a pulsating display of dominance against their title rivals

A brace from Mike Corbett ensured that AFC Didsbury overcame appalling playing conditions against a confident Lass O’Gowrie side to claim a valuable three points.

After a weekend of heavy rain meant both teams were greeted with a waterlogged pitch and torrential downpours, which would continue throughout.  Didsbury started very strongly dominating early possession and caused havoc from set-pieces, with Wayne Rogers denied by a brilliant save from a close-range header from a corner.

Didsbury continued to apply pressure throughout the first half and a neat interchange of passing culminated in Kieran MacHugh hitting the bar from the edge of the box.  Then came the breakthrough when a long ball up field was flicked on by Matt Harrison behind the last man and Mike Corbett nicked the ball off the defender’s toes and finished calmly past the goalkeeper to give Didsbury the lead just before the interval.

Conditions deteriorated throughout the second half but Didsbury still managed to impose their passing style on the game and kept the play clear of the waterlogged midfield areas for the most part.  When they got the ball wide, especially to the left, Colin McDonald was creating a multitude of chances.  Didsbury doubled their lead after McDonald skipped past his defender, hit the by-line and pulled the ball back for Harrison to drill low into the bottom left.

Lass O’Gowrie started throwing everything forward with 20 minutes to go and John Battersby did superbly to header the ball off the line from a corner kick when it looked certain to be drifting in.  Didsbury soaked up the pressure and sealed the win from a classic counter-attack, breaking forward with men over and Mike Corbett nonchalantly dinked the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper.

The win by a three goal margin sent AFC Didsbury top of Division 1 on goal difference with a game in hand over Lass O’Gowrie.

who's up at 4.14am pretending to be me?
Note it wasn't a header, more like a ivano bonetti ball into the box and an early steve livingston esq volleyed attempt at goal!

I tell you what lads... one or two of you.... some decent little touches, but I've only got you for one hour. If i had you for longer we could do all sorts of things.

Guys,
I just want you all to know that it's a disgrace that Colin was named MOTM. Everyone knows I was the best player on the mark by a mile.

Don't take offence Col, just thought you'd respect me for being honest.

I must disagree with this creasey fellow, the left winger was quite an astonishing athlete. I have had trials with crewe alex... yet he made me look like a mug with a tash!

I heard about this fake Creasey post for the first time last night and having now read it I can see its obviously the work of the angry Scotsman.
The biggest clue being that he tries to refer to the pitch as a 'park' but he can't even do that right and ends up writing 'mark'. I doesn't bother me, i'm thick skinned, I just think its disrespectful to Col that's all.
