Bromham 1-2 Calne Eagles
Friendly Match - 28th August
Calne Eagles completed their pre-season programme with a hard fought
2-1 win against an experienced Bromham side.
Bromham controlled large periods of the first half and they took a
deserved lead after 15 minutes when Jim Sandiford fired home an
unstoppable shot from 20 yards out. Bromham nearly doubled their
advantage 10 minutes later when a neat move saw Danny Powell cross
the ball to Jim Sandiford, who saw his shot bounce off the inside of
the Calne’s post and role agonisingly along the goal-line before
being cleared to safety by
Kev Hamersley.
However, despite being under constant pressure Calne defended
stoutly and just before half time they managed to equalise against
the run of play. Energetic striker
Shaun Jefferies got in behind
Bromham’s defence and although he didn’t make great contact with the
ball, his shot still managed to find the back of the net.
In the second half Bromham took the opportunity to experiment with
their line-up and this seemed to reduce their cutting edge in front
of goal. They still played some neat football but Calne started to
look for more comfortable and their extra pace in attacking
positions led to the game becoming a far more even affair.
Calne won the game with 10 minutes to go when good work from
Brett
Cullen set up his strike partner
Andy Stickley, who coolly slotted
the ball home from 8 yards out.
The Eagles’ have had a promising pre-season campaign, with good
competitive performances in all four matches. Hopefully if we can
maintain that same level of form going into this coming season we
can improve on last year’s tenth place finish.
