Rob Pearson seen his half volley from 25 hit straight at keeper Nairn. Heaton Stannington took the after a mistake in the visitors defence seen the ball fall to Kevin Carr who put the ball across goal and seen Phil Smith tap home with the last kick off the match.
First off all congradulations to both sides for playing in the awful conditons to try and play football in the right way but conditions did not help also credit to the referee for allowing the match to continue. As far as our performance goes disappointed with our first half performance but second half had most off the ball but could not find that killer pass but saying that think the match should have went to extra time but we need to score goals. Move onto Saturday's match vs South Shields. Come on Thornaby!
