Marlborough Lose in Tight Game
With four games left in the season and tied in third place Marlborough looked to use their game in hand on their competitors to good affect with an away fixture against Plymouth Marjon. With the earlier meeting in the season between the two sides ending in a bizarre 10-5 Marlborough victory the chances were that this would be another goal filled game with most clinical side likely to come out as the victors.
Neither side started the game well and there were plenty of misplaced passes and miss-traps adding to the slow start. Chances were few and far between and it wasn’t until midway through the first half when Marlborough started to look like scoring only to be denied on several short corner routines by some solid goalkeeping and defending. Marlborough were awarded a flick after a deliberate foul in a shooting position but were unable to convert leaving the game nervously poised at 0-0 going in to the second half.
The second half went much the way of the first half with neither team looking like gaining an advantage until Marjon were questionable flick of their own which they were able to convert. For the next twenty minutes Marlborough tried desperately to force the game but were just missing that final pass or perhaps the bit of luck that they needed.
The game finished 1-0 to Marjon whom to their credit had applied themselves tirelessly to keep Marlborough at bay. After a hugely disappointing result Marlborough look to their double header next weekend against Old Bristolians and Cheltenham to redeem themselves.

Marlborough Back in Running for Third Spot
Marlborough vs Hereford Marl win 3-2
After last weeks disappointing result against Taunton Marlborough went in to the weekend’s two games desperate to make amends and collect a maximum six points to get themselves back in to the running for third place.
Their opponents on the Saturday were Hereford whom earlier in the season had eased to victory against Marlborough with some swift counter attacking play. The game started as a cagey affair with Marlborough well aware of their opponents strengths but soon started bossing the game from the middle of the park with Will Seward and John Bromley dominating proceedings. Marlborough soon took the lead after a swift counter attack led to Rich Holman scoring with an incredibly inventive shot on the volley. Marlborough doubled their advantage in the last play before half time after excellent improvisation play from Will Seward after the break down of a short corner routine.
The 2nd half began with Hereford noticeably putting in higher effort levels and as a result scored 2 quick goals of their own leaving Marlborough shell-shocked and in complete disarray. With 15 minutes to go Marlborough rallied and threatened to retake the lead but were unable to do so until Man of the Match Will Seward arrived at the top of the ‘d’ and thundered his shot, with bullet like precision, into the corner of the goal. The remainder of the game was seen out in good style with Marlborough keeping possession well and frustrating their opponents.
Marlborough vs Firebrands Marl win 4-3
Having beaten ‘brands earlier in the season with some degree of comfort Marlborough went in to this game full of confidence but also wary as their opponents results over the last few weeks had improved greatly. The game started with both sides exchanging attacks and it was clear that ball pace and speed of thought would determine the winner. Marlborough took the lead after Rich Holman scored with a flick from close range but barely minute later Firebrands levelled after a sharp shot form a tight angle.
Matt Osbourne gave Marlborough the lead again after some mazy dribbling and calm finish and Osbourne increased Marlborough lead again after sweeping home from close range after the Firebrands goalkeeper had stopped Rich Holman’s slider shot. The game was seemingly over when Anil Sud scored with a reverse stick strike to give Marlborough a 4-1 lead.
Firebrands did not give up and egged on by their numerous pitch side supporters drew a goal back from a slick short corner and then soon after scored again to make it 4-3 and leaving Marlborough with a nervous final ten minutes to see out. Marlborough dug in and keep ‘brands at bay to cap off a terrific six point weekend leaving them tied third with a game in hand.

Marlborough in Command
After a couple of weeks break due to the weather Marlborough hoped to get back in to a winning routine against PGSOB whom they had beaten earlier in the season in a tightly contested match away from home.
The game started at a slower pace than normal as both teams looked to regain their on the ball confidence and touch but soon the game pace was stepped up. Marlborough opened the scoring after Will Hughes dived bravely to guide home Rich Holman’s slick back post pass. The rest of the first half was dominated by Marlborough but they could not further their advantage despite having several excellent opportunities in front of goal.
The second half began much the same way as Marlborough provided most of the attacking threat and soon scored again with Holman scoring from a short corner routine. Veteran player John Bromley provided the third from close range as Marlborough looked like closing the game out with ease.
To their credit PGSOB’s kept the effort levels high and had a couple of chances to score which were denied by some excellent defensive work and goalkeeping from Marlborough. The game ended 4-0 after Will Hughes scored his second after a goal mouth melee.
Back to winning ways Marlborough can look forward to a strong end of season run.
