\nTymon Bawn 1 Spartak 1<\/p>\n
Spartak huffed and puffed their way to a disappointing draw and relied on a 72nd minute og to claim a point. <\/p>\n
Tymon took the lead when the Sky Blues betrayed inexcusable laxity by failing to follow the maxim of play to the whisle. With a Tymon player down and calls for the ball to be put out, Spartak switched off. Tymon did not and took full advantage of the hesitation to score. They then had a header off the bar form a corner.<\/p>\n
A number of Spartak players looked very short of attacking desire; it is the main weaknesses of the side this year that very few players have been able to find the net: Mick Costello with 5 and Dermot Dooley with 4 are the top scorers with very few players getting more than one goal. The strike force on the day of Ross Kelly and Steve Browne have just 4 goals between them. <\/p>\n
In this game that scoring rate could have been remedied and an opportunity to improve the goal total was missed against an uncertain Tymon defence; Spartak had numerous chances but poor approach play, weak shooting and a sheer lack of willingness to make support runs into the box meant that opportunities created were too few. <\/p>\n
Spartak had first half claims for a penalty when Steve Walsh was impeded, and a Steve Browne \u201cgoal\u201d was somewhat dubiously ruled out. Browne also had an effort off the post.<\/p>\n
Spartak only came alive on the hour with the introduction of the substitutes. Keith Kelly hit the post with a fine late effort. The equaliser came after Seamus McCahill had contrived to miss a chance but the full back obliged by poking the ball past his keeper. Earlier Neill Bolger and Seamus McCahill missed from close in with the keeper absent, allowing a full back to get a block.<\/p>\n
Improvement will arrive when all the outfield players show more creative and attacking responsibility. <\/p>\n
