Achilles 3-1 Grundisburgh 31/08/2013

Both sides had 100% records after 2 games. Achilles kept that record intact & remained top of the table with a well deserved victory after sweeping Grundisburgh away. Trenter had the 1st chance after a strong run & shot over the bar from 25 yards. Achilles went up the other end to take the lead on 15 mins. Hillyard put in a good cross from the right & LEYS rose to head home into the top corner. Achilles then survived loud Grundisburgh appeals that the ball had crossed the line after Charters flapped under pressure from Trenter's free kick. Alexander had ran at goal & hit a hard shot, that Charters saved well parrying for a corner. From Trenter's flag kick on the right came the equaliser on 24 mins, a big scramble ensued & TAYLOR back heeled from close range to score.  40 mins & Leys sold a great dummy on the edge of the box & Hillyard drove wide.  1st min of the 2nd half & Cunningham's long goal kick put Taylor clean through to lob over Charters & wide.  Achilles went back in front on 56 mins when Hillyard 25 yards out found ARNOLD wide right of the box to cut inside & lob the ball to the far post that hit the post & crept in.  It was 3 on 68 mins when Arnold delivered a fine free kick on the left & COOTE arrived to sidefoot home from inside the 6 yard box. Leys somehow deflected a Godfrey free kick just over his own bar & Arnold on the break drove just wide.
