The last time this match was due to be played, it was called off due to a frozen pitch just as
the Frome team arrived, and even though the pitch was turning white again as this game
started, the match was able to be played, but no doubt the conditions had an effect on the end
result which turned out be a 0-0 draw.
With Gosport the league’s draw specialists with nine draws prior to this match and Frome not
far behind with six draws, the draw was always going to be a good bet, though the Gosport
foward line has been more prolific this season, having scored 40 goals to Frome’s 24.
Information on the match is sparse, but the defences were on top for most of the first half, with
the best chance of the match happening late on in the first half as a Matt Smith shot was
fumbled by the home keeper and Dave Gilroy poked the ball wide from close range.
Gilroy was also put through on goal just before half time, but his shot was straight at the home
keeper and a break by Gosport resulted in a similar spurned opportunity at the other end.
The second half saw Darren Chitty produce an excellent save in the 66th to deny Gosport a
goal from a flicked header at a corner, and then the home keeper produced a fine save to
deny Mike Perrott after being set up by Matt Smith.
So, a solid defensive performance by Frome and another point on the road to Premier League
safety.
The “H&B Tyres Man of the Match” award was awarded to Matt Smith for yet another fine
display in the heart of midfield.
