Spalding Town and Tydd St Mary ready for PDFL play-offs after thumping wins

Relentless Spalding Town completed their regular season with a massive 17-0 victory over Thorney Reserves on Saturday.

Marcus Parry led the charge with six goals – taking his tally for the season to a whopping 54 in ChromaSport PDFL Division Two.

That makes the Town ace the leading scorer in any PDFL division this season.

Glen Wells (3), Danny Kingman (3), Steven Robinson (2), Jordan Clow, Josh Faulkner and Cymon Lambe also bagged in the Knight Street rout.

Town, who finished third, now hosts Ketton Reserves tonight (Tuesday) in the Division Two play-off semis at Knight Street.

  • Ten-up Tydd St Mary rounded off their ChromaSport PDFL Division Three season with a crushing 10-3 victory at Whittlesey B on Saturday to seal sixth place.

Stu Easey (6) started the rout when he cut inside from the left and struck a superb goal from the edge of the box.

The Saints were then awarded a penalty for handball, allowing top scorer Tim Lowe to slot home for 2-0.

One minute later Tydd made it 3-0 when Dan Piccaver’s sublime ball through to Easey was thumped home.

On 32 minutes Max Burrell raced down to the flank and cut the ball back for Dale Parnell to side-foot home for 4-0. Parnell became provider three minutes later when he set up Lowe to fire home.

The goal of the game came when the Whittlesey keeper cleared the ball from outside of his box but saw it fall to Easey, who took one touch and then chipped in from 45 yards.

It was 7-0 at half-time when Parnell returned the favour for Burrell.

Three Whittlesey goals made it 7-3 after the break, but Andy Cook (65), Burrell (77) and Scott Pemberton (82) rounded off the scoring and sealed a play-off place.

Tydd’s co-manager Dave Monaghan said: “This was a game we had to be disciplined in. We knew Whittlesey had nothing to play for, but we had everything to play for. A draw would have done but we wanted to start strongly and get the job done by half time.”

Tydd now visit Stamford Lions Reserves on tonight (Tuesday) in the play-off semi-finals (7pm).
