Western Dynamo vs Central United
at the Pickford Park
The 3rd vs 4th playoff saw the boys from the West cup up againts the guys from Central in was was expected to be an exciting clash..Things didnt dissapoint either..
After only 9 minutes the West were down to 10 men when Sean Bennett was red carded for cutting down United captain Daniel Smith..
As if that wasnt a crazy enough start, after just quarter of an hour, we were level at 10 men each when Darren Dubb-Lynch saw Red after taking a crazy swing at James Malthus in the area, Graham Poll had no hesitation in sending him off, and awarding a penalty..
David Kennett took the spot kick and made no mistake to put the West up 1-0..
The game continued to be very physical, but some class finally shone through when Daniel Smith produced a delicate chip to beat Andy Cameron and put Central back on level terms..
Four minutes from the break a lazy Cameron challenge brought down Matt Currie in the area and a penalty was awarded.. Smith stepped up and made no mistake to send the United boys in to the break up 2-1..
The second half started sluggishly with no side really taking the advantage. That changed after 71 minutes when a stray Daniel Rai backpass missed Cameron and went into the United goal... Suddenly United were up 3-1 and looking comfortable..
However the party was just about to begin..
2 goals, and a 2 red cards in the space of 3 minutes made the game alot more interesting..
First it was Central who made the gap 3 goals when a Smith shot cannoned into the net off the post to give Central a 4-1 lead and Smith a hat-trick.. However straight from the re-start the Dynamo pushed forward and Kennett was taken from behind by Tarick Weber, his 2nd Yellow seen him off.. The resulting free kick was swung in and met with the head of Kennett who put it in the net to get it back to 4-2...
Minutes later James Malthus made a searching run only to be brought down by Samir Louadj who also seen his 2nd yellow and was off. All of a sudden it was 10 vs 8...
Dynamo hopes were lifted in injury time when Kennett put away his Hat-trick to get it back to 4-3, but time had run out... 8 man United had hung on to take 3rd place in the Cup...
Graham Poll's lack of control the real talking point in the match..
FINAL SCORE
FINAL UP LATER TONIGHT!!
