Blyth (8-2-0, 1st BSBN) vs Workington (1-1-8, 20th BSBN)
We're 1:4 favorites at home, hopefully focused on today instead of looking ahead to the Cup Qualifier next weekend. The trusty 4-4-1-1 Counter, of course, hope we don't wear it out.

GK: Dovey
D: Deen-Conteh, Kerr, Seidu, Groves
M: Shelton, Baker, Smyth, Moke
F: Paratore, Cofie
Subs: (Sawyer, Ahmed, Rickard, Janneh, McDonald)

10' - Paratore takes a crack, it's saved
11' - Paratore gets another crack, hits the crossbar
12' - Seidu misses a perfect header chance off a perfectly placed corner
22' - Shulton to Cofie on the left, out high to Smyth ... give & go to Cofie on the run, he buries it into the right corner (1-0)
24'- Baker hits the post ... Moke buries the rebound (2-0)
26' - A nasty trip sends Moke tumbling, gets Workington a yellow card
30' - Moke scores a beaut ... but he's flagged offside
36' - Paratore feeds Cofie in front ... hits the post
43' - Shulton free kick is on target ... slams off the crossbar
44' - Smyth unbelievably hits the post

Halftime - It should be at least 6-0. FOUR shots off the woodwork, unbelievable. Keep it going boys.

49' - Cofie feeds Moke, his shot is turned away
56' - Moke shoots high & over
62' - Smyth misses wide left by inches
64' - Sub Janneh (for Shulton, tiring) ... shift Baker to ML, Smyth to MCL, Paratore to AMC
76' - Sub Ahmed (for Paratore, tiring) ...
79' - Workington misses a golden opportunity, inches wide of an exposed net
88' - Sub Rickard (for Moke, tiring) ...
89' - 2 minutes added

Full time: Blyth 2 - Workington 0
Outshot them 14-3, hit the woodwork FIVE times. 67% possession. 83% pass completion. Total domination. Smyth (7.7) is MOM, lowest rating is a 6.8. Their 9th straight loss, our fifth straight win

We praise Smyth in the post-match presser, admit that the score could have been bigger without the woodwork.
