Inspirational Byatt Plans The Great Escape

Corinthian-Casuals 3 v 1 Ramsgate
Match Sponsor:
Man of the Match: Jamie Byatt
Report by Gary Weir
Match Highlights by Fox in the Box Productions

A wonderstrike from 25 yards by Jack Wadmore and a double in the second half from top goalscorer Jamie Byatt helped to secure victory last night over play-off promotion candidates Ramsgate at King George's.

Casuals introduced a number of changes for this hastily arranged midweek fixture which saw the match postponed just two weeks earlier due to the recent heavy rainfall making the pitch unplayable. In came new signing Jordan Vidal from Carshalton Athletic together with season new starts Pico Gomez and David Goddard. On the bench Daniel Llacer and James Richmond completed the list of new recruits to the club together with reservist Joe Davies, Ellis Wilson-Joseph and Juevan Spencer. Further, Jack Wadmore started in centre midfield replacing the missing Jason Turley whilst the highly experienced midfielder Tommy Williams rested the fans favourite bobby, Danny Green.

With those changes came an air of intrigue. Corinth immediately set the pace by scoring early on when a poorly cleared Ramsgate ball fell to Wadmore 25 yards out who cooly smashed a low right footed strike into the keepers bottom left hand corner. Although the keeper got a touch the power-force in Wadmore's shot gave Ramsgate's number one no chance to stop it from going in.

Upon 21 minutes, David Pilcher of Ramsgate found himself in an unusual position to draw the scoreline level. The Rams, having exploited the Casuals defensive line down our left channel and caught the centre backs napping after the resulting cross enabled Pilcher to find himself in the penalty area one-on-one with Bracken and neatly placed it low beyond reach into the net.

Heading towards half time both teams carved a couple of half chances which led to a tense final to the half. The dangerous number 9 for the Rams was usually found loitering on a few occasions on the edge of the Casuals area which allowed him a few unchallenged cracks at goal. Meanwhile, the Casuals continually threatened down the attacking left channel which provided a few openings, including a dangerous cross-box pass which unfortunately nobody was able to latch onto.

After the break, on 57 minutes Jamie Byatt added to his season tally by tapping in from close range after a wonder kick from Danny Bracken at the other end. The long ball made first impact with the ground just outside the Ramsgate box after Bracken's left footed launch and as the keeper came out to collect it bounced abnormally high against the saturated surface and over his head. Although preventing Bracken with quite possibly his first goal celebration for Corinthian-Casuals Byatt made sure the scoreline was 2-1 without further ado by advancing beyond the now highly embarrased ramsgate stopper to push it further over the line.

 Just 8 minutes later, Byatt added his 15th of the season firing home a powerful header just 6 yards out after an inch perfect cross deep into the six yard box by midfield maestro Tommy Williams. It may be wondrous as to how Byatt managed to out-jump the opposition at the back post however it is definitely no surprise given his attitude to every ball in his vicinity is challengeable, and winnable.

Although just midway through the second half there was a sensation from the stand that the game had been won yet the chocolate and pink continued to limit attacks from the visiting side and still maintain attacking prowess down the channels. A double change on 79 minutes saw the introduction of new signing James Richmond for Vidal Jordan at left back whilst Juevan Spencer offered attacking options by replacing the ever-influential forward Steve Goddard. Draining any potential momentum from the opposition side late on Kim Harris made the move on 88 minutes to bring in former Harrow Borough front man Daniel Llacer to cover fellow countryman Pico Gomez.

Never at any stage during the last quarter was the result in jeopardy as Casuals retained a crucial 3 points in their scrap at the bottom of the Ryman division 1 south. With Casuals in the ascendancy, now unbeaten in three matches, and many other teams showing signs of inconsistency it looks like the plans are in motion for the great escape. Come on you Casuals!

The club would like to take the opportunity to thank the tireless efforts of Tony Davies, Brian Adamson, Brian Flynn, Brian Phillips & Roger Phillips for given up their time from 1pm to ensure last night's match was playable. Without the voluntary efforts of those mentioned above together with many more involved with the club acts such as those mean last nights victory would not have been possible. Thank you!

Cracking night. Totally deserved win too. New signings look very promising. Jack Wadmore's goal was a treat and great to see Busy back to his best. Would loved to have seen it topped off with a hat-trick.

With performances like that, no reason why we cannot climb the table to safety... but one game at a time!
