TD Shipley beat Southwater as SCFL Division 2 season nears its end
Southwater FC visited TD Shipley on a beautiful sunny afternoon to play their last league match this season in the SCFL Division 2 – but lost 2-0.
TD were up for the fight in a derby which didn’t fail to impress.
The away team have had a great season, they have a cup final to look forward to on Tuesday against Jarvis Brook and they are hoping to finish third in the final standings.
The first half was a typical derby with tough tackles and the usual handbags. Both teams gave it everything in a very even half.
The strikeforce of TD had the better opportunities and Adam Campbell-Stone came close with a free kick. The crowd of over 100 enjoyed the passion on show.
The second half kicked off with the Swifts pushing forward, but a long pass found the battling Adam Campbell-Stone. He controlled it with his chest, and smashed the ball past the stricken goalkeeper to score his 30th goal of an extraordinary season.
No wonder teams in the Isthmian League are taking a look at the 27-year-old.
Southwater’s Sam Berry was working hard down the left wing. His crossing led to some decent chances for an equaliser but Woodward couldn’t be beaten in the Dragons goal.
Campbell-Stone doubled the lead deep into injury time to make it 2-0 and 31 goals. A minute later Kane Watt received a red card and got his matching orders.
MoM was Adam Campbell-Stone for his fantastic performance.
Next up for the Dragons – their last game of the season – is against Capel FC on April 19 at home.
Good luck to Southwater in the cup final.
