The Brook's losing run continued on Saturday when they lost3-0 at St Ives Town,leaving them firmly rooted to the bottom of the league.

Missing Akinjirin through suspension the Brook started with Esmond James in a more forward position and his movement & passing certainly improved the Brook's attacking options.

The Brook should have taken the lead in the 15th minute when James Walters took a quick free kick to Lucas Williams on the right wing,who beat the defender then rounded the advancing keeper but saw his shot come back off the far post and the danger cleared,.

Although the Brook were having a lot of possession they were unable to create any good chances and it was the home side who hit the bar with a cross cum shot in the 39th minute.

The decisive moment in the 1st half came in the last couple of minutes when the linesman wrongly flagged Faux-James offside when he would have been one-on-one with the home keeper,from the resultant ki9ck the ball reached St Ives,Seymour-Shove who shot past Mazurek to open the scoring.H-T 1-0

Going into half-time was an injustice to the Brook but if you don't take your opportunities you get punished.

Worse was to follow when with their 1st attack of the 2nd half on 48 minutes the Brook gave the ball away and Seymour-Shove scored his & St Ives 2nd goal.2-0

Then,as happens all to frequently the Brook's discipline collapsed,firstly in the 51st minute keeper Sam Mazurek was sent off for allegedly stamping on St Ives striker Eason,although the only person who allegedly saw it was the linesman over 30 yards away.Instead of re-grouping the Brook picked up 2 more bookings.

Emmanuel Williams took over in goal and although fortuitous on several occasions ,kept the home side out until the 89th minute when Stead scored from a free kick.

Although the Officials were once again very poor we cannot keep on blaming them for our lack of discipline,so now we will be without our 1st choice keeper for 3 games which will make our efforts to climb out of bottom place all the more difficult.
