Cliffe FC travelled to face St Clements where they played out a pre-season friendly in the York Racecourse ground where Cliffe FC ran out 5-2 winners.
Malcolm Bryce writes…
Cliffe begun very brightly and had an early lead when Tom Hogg broke through to score his first chance of the game for 1-nil to the away side. Cliffe looked to push on but when a poor set-piece allowed St Clements to equalise before half-time Cliffe had to take a hard look at themselves.
In the second half, Cliffe did respond, in the most spectacular way when right-back Tom Dunning fired the ball into the opposite top corner, off the post, into the net from all of 40 yards to put Cliffe 2-1 ahead. St Clements did still however equalise when a penalty was awarded and converted. It would take another special effort, this time from Andy Kirkham, who bagged from 30 yards out for 3-2. Cliffe pushed on from there and scored a forth through Hogg’s second and Hogg would set Kev Taylor up to round up the 5-2 Cliffe win.
Keith Tiplady said
“Tom Dunnings goal. Forget the venue and opponents that was one of the most spectacular goals I have ever seen!”
