Well, the Smithfield started their European Cup adventure away at Duke of York with a comfortable 5-3 win.
Ratings are as follows:-
Stanway
Safe handling throughout. Couldn’t do much with the goals, made some brave saves second half.
8/10.
Clarke
Another sound performance from a player who never lets his team mates down.
8/10
Jones (K)
Good in the air, caught napping again for their 3rd, always supplying the forwards from deep.
7/10
Harris
More like it from the talented defender, solid performance and looked more than comfortable on the ball.
8/10
Askey
Read the game well, never looked under pressure, controlled the game from the back.
8/10
Ford
Dropped back into midfield but it didn’t stop him causing problems all game. Scored one set up two and was unlucky to have another disallowed.
9/10
Bagnall
Always looking for a forward pass, strong in the tackle, lead by example.
8/10
Baggerley
First start and settled in well, good partnership in the centre of midfield, tired second half.
7/10
Craig
Powerhouse performance from the human dynamo, final ball could be improved.
8/10
Jones (L)
Scored one and could have had more, needs to improve his off the ball game.
7/10
Maskery
Scored 2 crackers, could have had 6, and was involved in most of the best bits.
9/10
Cobby
Replaced Jones for the last 20, never gave the winger a sniff.
7/10
Tudor
Replaced Badderley on 75 mins, it’s good to see the elusive defender briefly.
7/10
