Hallelujah! After 13 games, and a pitiful amount of goals scored, City finally got their first win of the season! Darlington at Twerton Park on 08/10/2011 led to a superb stunning (completely unexpected) 2-0 victory for the mighty stripes!
City lined up in a 442 formation with Sean Canham, on loan from Hereford playing his first game at Twerton for the proper owners, rather than the tennants Team Bath who he played for in the conference south days.
City were utterly dominant over a very very poor Darlington side, we created chances, and much more importantly denied them any chance of getting into the game. Darlo were terrible, but the stripes were superb.
At half time we went in 0-0, which is a blessing given we normally conceed after a couple of minutes, however, after the half time break however Citys renewed vigour and attacking prowess was rewarded after a corner was defended and broke back to Marc Canham, who crossed the ball into the box the ball broke around the box and after a Gethin Jones air kick the ball dropped to Sean Canham who slammed the ball home.
Not since Kaid's goal in thge play off final has a goal been celebrated with such passion as this goal! Then unbelieveably 3 minutes later Lee Phillips was chasing the ball down as he had all day, and managed to muscle a Darlo player off the ball and cut inside the defender and slammed the ball home 2-0!
City played well till the end and the legion was in good voice, and happily let known their continued love for Adie Britton. 2-0 City and everyone has gone home happy!
