Tuesday 8th May - 5 Star McVeigh blasts Breightmet
AAFC 5 Breightmet United 2 - Atherton Cup Semi final at Atherton Collieries FC
Ashton striker Paul McVeigh is certainly getting a liking for the Atherton Charity Cup, having bagged 4 in the earlier rounds he fired his team into the final with a remarkable feat of scoring all 5 of the Ashton goals in this semi final tie against Manchester Premier Division outfit Breighmet United. .
Ashton started the game staged at the neutral ground of Atherton Collieries on the front foot and good early pressure brought instant reward as McVeigh capitalised on a goalkeeping error in the 2nd minute to put Ashton ahead. 1-0
A great passing move across the part and a defence splitting pass then put in Richard Sharpe one on one with the Breightmet keeper but his effort was off target.
In the 5th minute Breighmet forced a corner which was delivered into the box and under severe pressure Ashton keeper Brobbin spilled the ball, however the shot was skied over the bar.
from the next attack in the 6th minute Simon Gallanders split the defence and found McVeigh rampaging through on goal, and a toe poke over the advancing keeper brought further reward and increased Ashton's lead. 2-0.
Ashton were now in total control and in the 20th minute went three up as McVeigh grabbed his hatrick with a sharp turn and finish from just inside the box. 3-0
Ashton kept up the pressure and made it four with the best goal of the match as fluent passing found steve Wallace wide on the right and his text book near post cross was met perfectly by McVeigh who finished hard and low in style. 4-0 HT
With the result al but guaranteed, congratulations to Breightmet for keeping at it in the second half but it was Ashton again that drew first blood as Matt Mahoney broke clear down the left and as he drove into the box he was up ended by his marker, penalty awarded without any hesitation by referee Karl Evans. No doubt who was going to take the spot kick as McVeigh stepped forward to slam home his, and his teams fifth of the nightin the 49th minute. 5-0
Ashton visibly took the foot off the gas and this allowed Breighmet a respite that then allowed them to push forward in search of consolation, but the Ashton defence was in determined mood to deliver a clean sheet.
it was niot until the 80th minute that Breighmet finnaly got reward for their endeavours as a quickly taken free kick just outside the box in the 80th minute caught Ashton on the hop and allowed Clint McLoughlin to slide the ball into the goal, as keeper Brobbin was lining up the wall and waiting for the whistle from the referee, that never came. 5-1
With the job all but done Ashton relaxed in the last 10 minutes, but this gave Breightmet more time to pour forward and exert pressure on the Ashton penalty area and from a half clearance Rob Howarth swooped to fire in another goal from the edge of the box in the 86th minute. 5-2
A comfortable result for Ashton with the MoM undoubtedly Paul McVeigh, however the work rate and quaility of the play from the rest of the team especially in the first half enabled an excellent all round team performance.
