Leverstock Green 0 vs 0 London Tigers

London Tigers  were lucky to get this match under way due to the weather the groundsmen worked wonders.

Even so the pitch was heavy going and soon cut up as the match went on.

After an inevitable slow start, Leverstock were putting much of the early pressure onto the Tigers goal and at times Jamie Adim had to be at his best to keep several shots at bay.

But then as the Tigers started to pull themselves back into the game, Kye Hendrix broke free of a high defensive line and took an early  shot from about 30 yards out that beat keeper Kieran Jimmy but just clipped the outside of the post and away for a goal kick.

The remainder of the first half was full of endeavour but still nobody was able to produce that bit of magic that was to make a goal.

In the second half, Leverstock won an early corner that was quickly taken and headed out to where Prince Alozie was waiting and he drove a first time shot goalwards that Adim did well to save diving low to the foot of his left hand post.

The Tigers were now living dangerously as Leverstock showed signs of controlling the game, another corner that they didn’t defend well nearly produced a Leverstock goal but it was scrambled away with some desperate defending. but then the Tigers produced a break away with a good ball out by Guram Guramishvili picked up by Roderjan Rodrigues who ran on towards goal and shot but keeper Jimmy saved well to thwart the attempt.

Then in the final minutes it looked as though Leverstock were going to get the winner when Dene Gardener sent a long ball over the top of the Tigers defence that substitute Dan Lake ran onto and looked to be odds on to score but Adim advanced on him and cut down the angle enough to force the shot inches wide and maintain parity at the final.
