CD Thader at Petrelense
By Steve Hibberd
On a rain-soaked mid-week evening, Thader made hard work of dispensing with a poor Petrel side. With only 2 victories all season, the hosts are all but relegated to regional division football, but they made the men from Rojales fight all the way.
Manager Raul Mora made some enforced changes from the defeat to Benferri, with every available player getting a slot on the team sheet. Injuries to front men Quino and Calderon (out for rest of the season), have left the team with few options in the attacking department.
A delightful right-wing cross by Javi, found Nino perfectly placed, unmarked in the centre of the goal on 4 mins. The tall centre forward made no mistake with his firm header, that gave Fernando in Petrel’s goal no chance.
