Match Report

Curzon reserves gave up their unbeaten run to a strong experienced Greenall side, but in fairness most of the young side of Curzon looked tired due to playing eight games in 14 days. 
With most of the youngsters playing college football & also turning out for the U18’s of Curzon, the 1^st two weeks of the season has been hectic and has caught up with most of the young players. Curzon is not using this as an excuse for their poor second half display in a game where they never really got going. Too many players were not on their game.  In the 1^st half they tended to over play at times but at times they showed some great stuff breaking away quickly after defending from a corner & a free kick and should have done better in front of goal.  
In the second half Curzon were guilty of giving the ball away to cheaply and never really hurt the aging back four of Greenall.  The player of the game was Rob Hanley of Greenall who’s experience and clever play troubled Curzon all day and he was rewarded a goal for all his efforts on 55 minutes when he picked  up the ball mid way in the Curzon half and waltzing passed three players he slotted home past the hapless Darren Riddett. 
Curzon did have chances to draw level but they were only half chances and they failed to take them.  The Game was over as a contest on the 80th minute when again after slack defending Curzon allowed Brendan Hennessy to shoot low to Riddett’s right from the edge of the box to make it 2-0.  Curzon knew that they had a off day but also know that during this long season they will meet teams like Greenalls and if they are to progress they have to learn to be stronger  all around the park, give 100% work rate and to dig in at times & work together, better as a team. 
On a lighter note with the influx of foreign players coming into this country Curzon Res fielded two players after obtaining their International clearance this week for their squad. Xavier Riedo from Switzerland and Miroslav Uryga from the Czech Republic. Both played and have brought their own qualities to the squad and Curzon hope that they can be a success with the club.   Curzon travel away next week to Barton FC where they are hopeful o bouncing back.
