Acklam Football Club

Billingham Town v Acklam FC

Sunday 7th March 2010

Acklam and Billingham met for the 3^rd time this season in this Challenge Cup game.

Billingham started like a house on fire going 2-0 up inside the first seven minutes

Aclam pulled one back when Jack Boddy finished off a good move and cross from down the right hand side

Straight from the restart Acklam fell asleep and Billingham made it 3-1 and as the half went on added a fourth with a good move down their left

Acklam responded by pulling another back just before half time when Ste Waite pounced on a mix up between goal keeper & defender and slotted into the empty net

In the 2^nd half  dean Ellis scored his first goal for Acklam from a Jack Boddy corner to make it 4-3. Then  Acklam went all out for an equaliser and went close on a couple of occasions but were caught on the break as Billingham added a 5^th in the closing minutes

Final Score: Billingham Town 5-3 Acklam

Again we can be very proud of our performance but again a lack of discipline and failure to clear our lines cost us

We cant afford to switch of as much as we do because this is costing us in loads of games

MOM: Jack Boddy
