Match Summary -DSW crack Brazil Nuts 

After a slow start to the new season, the growing injury list combined with a number of players in warm weather training led to followers believing DSW could struggle in this fixture with the league leaders. 

The fears were unfounded, with two debutants Franky and Schoey making an immediate impact. The game was well balanced early on and was being played at a leisurely pace until an electric turn and finish by Franky put DSW into the lead. 

DSW passed the ball well and created a number of openings, a couple of which found the car park, before a curling through ball from Brazil left DSW flat footed. A neat finish and it was 1-1. D Dodd was starting to look dangerous upfront and was creating chances, eventually he had to finish one and sure enough 2-1. 

In the second half the team was now passing the ball well, Bob the cat had struck fear in to the opposition to such an extent that they started to find the car park more often than DSW had early on. 

However noting the lack of candidates for the Jimmy T award, given Dow senior was running the Costa Brava training camp, Bob changed his mind mid throw out and neatly lobbed the ball out to the feet of the centre forward who was luckily so surprised that Bob managed to recover with a good save down to his left. 

With the opposition now pushing forward DSW began to find space and a series of chances came and went. The most surprising was David Dodd one on one with the goal keeper electing to pass – a moment to be savoured and unlikely to be experienced again. 

DSW continued to create chances and the game was secured by two more good finishes one each from Frankie and David Dodd. 

At the end DSW were holding the ball well and had seen off their losing streak.
