There was a dream start for The
White Tigers when straight from kick-off an inviting cross from the left by
Connor Riley-Lowe found the head of Cody Cooke who made no mistake.The opening
goal came within the opening 20 seconds but the visitors looked to get back
into the game straight away with a couple of half-chances that came to
nothing.An effort from Tyler Harvey took a deflection which forced a good save
out of the visitors’ ‘keeper as we looked to double our advantage.We were
looking the most likely side as the half went on and we managed to double our
advantage on 27 minutes when Ed Palmer curled home a free-kick with much aplomb
to give the ‘keeper no chance.The White Tigers always looked in control during
the opening period as we played with plenty of endeavour and determination
without creating too many further scoring opportunities.There was a half-chance
for the visitors on the stroke of half-time when Knight’s header was easily
gathered by Tom McHale as we took a two-goal advantage into the second
period.It was a bright start to the second half from The White Tigers with some
nice passages of play and our first sight of goal saw Cooke draw a smart save
from the ‘keeper.There were chances at either end as Harvey went close as he
lifted the ball just over. We were looking solid as a unit to keep our
opponents at bay despite their best efforts.As we entered the final 20 minutes,
a free-kick from the visitors found the head of Knight who was off target as
Concord enjoyed a spell of pressure as they searched for a way back into the
game.Ben Gerring was forced out of the action late on as we held our two-goal
advantage and secured a precious three points.WHITE TIGERS: McHale, Palfrey,
