Halifax At Home

Well Waddock was right to tell his players it was a 95 minute game and his squad of young & atheletic players grabbed the 3 points in the dieing seconds - a good lesson to those who left early that the game isn't over until it's over! In all fairness any shots fan at the match could probably appreciate how gutted the Halifax fans were to come this way and see there side lose for a second consecutive time at The Rec in such similar fashion. In the 95th minute the shots only second real on goal chance created by the upcoming youngster Danny Hylton (the player I had just sponsorsed at the start of kick off! and one who looks sure to do well within the future) and a great run from Kirk Hudson saw Jonny Dixon finish well, claim the three points and send the Halifax players crashing down to the ground thinking how a well earned point evaded them. On a further note it was great to the shots players reaction as they bundled Jonny into the prized turf of the Rec.
However, despite an unattractive display of football 3points is 3points and is vital to keep the pressure on the Gulls who are soaring high at the Top. Here are some of the pictures from the match, including the shots joyous celebration.
