The Splitz defence stood firm and it remained 2-1 to Splitz until half time. Splitz were on the back foot for the first 10 minutes of the second half but then started to play some lovely football. Marc White on the left and Jamie Ryan in the middle were inspirational. The pressure paid off and in the 67th minute Dan Braule crossed a lovely ball in from the right and it was met with a fantastic header from Dan Pyman. It was now Splitz's game to lose but the pressure was maintained and in the 75th minute, Marc White got the goal that he deserved.

28/08/10 Stoke Ferry 6 v 1 Splitz Utd League Kick Off 3pm Reporter - Kevin Foran. |
| SPLITZ UNITED were away to a strong and young Stoke Ferry side in their 1st match to kick off the League program for 2010/11. Unfortunately the side is still re-building and came away with a 6-1 defeat. Conceding 5 goals in the 1st half made it a tall order to come back but it was a very spirited performance in the 2nd half and Splitz came away with a very worthy consolation goal scored by Dan Pyman. But for the earlier errors Splitz may have come away with something from the match but there were some good things taken from the game. Splitz now look forward to Wednesday's match at home to Rockland Utd Reserves. Kick off is at 6.15pm. All players are asked to attend at Beetley for 5.30pm. |
