UCL Premier Division
Newport Pagnell Town 1 Blackstones 1
Saturday, 02 April 2011
Newport were unable to repeat two away wins over Blackstones as they were held at Willen Road.
Not many clear cut chances were created by either side in the first half.
Daren dykes had a good shot dragged wide then Vinnie Shrieves turned the defender to force a good save out of the Stones keeper.
Then some good running down the centre from Vinnie saw his over shot go over the cross bar.
The second half saw some slight improvement and as the Swans pushed forward more but it was Blackstones that gave the Swans an early second half scare when from a Free Kick hitting the cross bar.
The Swans forced a great save out of the Blackstones keeper through Rocco.
Steve Burns made the breakthrough for Blackstones after 74 minutes after Warnecki made a good save for Burns to pick the rebound up to power past the Newport keeper.
Luigi Rocco salvaged a point for the Swans with an 83rd minute reply on his third attempt. His first shot at close range was brilliantly saved by the Stone keeper Rocco, pounced on the rebound to force another save, but again Rocco picked up the rebound and this time made no mistakes and made sure the ball was going into the net.
A very difficult game for the Swans as they found it very hard to break Blackstones down.
