Thanks to Rob Harrison for the report

Crostyx will take heart from their home defeat to Brentwood, but will still be left bitterly frustrated after ending their recent form.

For the 4th consecutive week Crostyx found themselves 1-0 down and fighting hard against a well organised side, it stayed that way until half time.

Brentwood added a 2nd goal at the start of the 2nd half against the run of play. Crostyx would not go down without a fight, and Brentwood started to look worried when Demi Vassiliou roofed a drag flick to bring the score back to 2-1. Buoyed by the goal Crostyx continue to press forward and were caught unfortunately on the counter attack as Brentwood capitalised on a mistake at the back to make the score 3-1.
The game was far from over at this point and Crostyx continued to push, and the next goal came from ‘in-form’ centre-back Joseph Whitehead, who for the 3rd week in a row found the back of the net with what can only be described as a candidate for goal of the season. Some brilliant work from Daniel Hunn down the inside right channel before squaring the ball to the marauding centre-back who first touch placed him on the edge of the circle, before Whitehead unleashed a cannonball into the top right hand corner of the goal.

Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time for Crostyx to find an equaliser and were left to rue a number of missed chances. It will be another difficult game next week against Wapping but the team head into every game knowing that they will create enough chances to compete.
