The new guy looked like exactly what we needed, and Harrowby were fortunate it wasn't a cricket score in the end. Gilsenan's goal was a very deliberate 25 yard volley placed right in the top corner, sheer class. MOM for me was Dent who was everywhere, but Gilsenan, McBride and obviously Alfie all played their part.
Around 200-250 there i'd say. Very enjoyable day.

Anyone remember "spot the ball" ? I think the shots of the Gilsenan goal might be a challenge if the ball was blanked out.
It was indeed - I thought he was the best player on the park, and capped his performance with a good goal and an excellent assist.Duke of Wimbourne wrote:Formic wrote:I've added Mal's pics to the match report - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/harrowby-uni ... diamonds-3

lol
I thought Gilly added some much needed experience, a quality debut 8-) 8-)
Saw him play for Corby when they played Glasgow Rangers in a friendly last season. I believe he is related to Corby's ex manager, Graham Drury.rudolph_hucker wrote:Gotta be said their gk was brilliant. Took all the banter from us and all in good humour.......
'Fuckin 'ead it' was a personal highlight from their goalie and I agree he took the banter well, even mocked the number 2's weight at one point with us :lol:rudolph_hucker wrote:Gotta be said their gk was brilliant. Took all the banter from us and all in good humour. Pity about number 2
