MGBSFL DIVISION TWO
TEMPLE FORTUNE 3 PARIS SAINT-JEWMAIN 1
With a few near-misses, including hitting the cros bar and Ed Bloom making some great saves, the visitors may feel hard done by. But this Fortune team dig deep even when not playing particularly well and have ground out some impressive victories.
This was the latest at SJP as Sherman, with two goals, and midfielder Jacob Kalms netted the goals.
Jewmain's lone strike came from the penalty spot, via top-scorer Josh Cohen, to cancel out Sherman's opener but the home side grabbed two more to take the points.
So Fortune sit in second position behind FC Team with a record of nine wins, one draw and three defeats from their 13 fixtures. With five leagues games remaining, plus next week's Division Two Cup quarter-final, Simon Linden's team have everything to play for. Could be an exciting climax ahead.
Reflecting on the match, Linden told JC Sport: "It was a good win and I'm really pleased with the three points against tough opposition.
"It was a very tight game - there was very little in it between the teams and PSJ will feel hard done by with the result. Experience and desire plus Danny Sherman won the game.
"It took a bit of time to get going but in spells we played some good football. We restricted PSJ to long shots and the woodwork saved us on a couple of occasion. It was only a penalty that got past a strong back five, with Ed Bloom in fine form."
