Achilles 5 - 3 Grundisburgh 23/04/13

Achilles came from behind to complete the double over Grundisburgh for only the 2nd time & extend their unbeaten league run to 15 matches.The result keeps alive their slim title hopes, 7 points behind Valley Rangers with 4 each to play. Achilles started the brighter & Deasy's long cross dropped just over from 30 yards. Grundisburgh went ahead on 6 mins when Van-Oe-Ne brought the ball out from the back & played a great pass inside the defender for Alexander to cooly slot past Charters. Godfrey hit a fierce drive over from 35 yards & Donovan headed over Arnold's corner from 6 yards out, before Lowe headed home unmarked from Arnold's free kick. Grundisburgh went back in front when Froud's excellent cross saw Alexander sidefoot volley home. They then spurned a great chance to extend their lead when Godfrey went clean through but blasted over with just Charters to beat. Controversy started in the 2nd half when first Alexander's header was over the line & not given & then Charters handled a back pass that was missed by the officials & his kick saw Taylor cross for Lowe's header to just creep in & then Lowe completed his hat trick from Arnold's corner. Arnold curled a lovely free kick into the top corner from 18 yards before Lowe made it 5 lobbing Wilson just inside the box on 85 mins. Godfrey hit a great curling free kick from 30 yards that flashed into the net for a hard done by visitors.
