WATSON IMPRESSES FOR CARLTON!
Carlton followed up a much improved performance at Ollerton with a comprensive 5-1 win over Bilborough Pelican.
Trialist Seb Darling gave Carlton an early lead with a fine finish after breaking clear wide on the right on 15 and Mcdonald continued his excellent pre season scoring record with a powerful finish on 24.
Carlton were playing some nice football and had Pelican on the back foot with Nailor and trialist Nat Watson impressive in midfield.
In the 2nd period, Pelican made things much harder for Carlton and got alot tighter particually in midfield and Carlton had to work harder for any openings.
It was another trialist Francis who scored a superb 3rd with a tremendous curled in effort.
Pelican rallied and an error by the otherwise excellent Danny Hayes let in Dylan Smith to make it 3-1 and only a fine save by Danny Marshall prevented Pelican from pulling it back to 3-2. Subsitute Ricky Gardener made his mark on the game causing Pelican all kinds of problems but it was the impressive Nat Watson who put the game beyond doubt when he scored a superb solo goal to make it 4-1.
Francis added a 5th for Carlton after a good advantage from the referee and that's the way it finished.
