NEXT GAME
And it will be another tough game.
MAZARRON FC v LA HOYA LORCA CF 'B'
Following our close 1-0 defeat at Esparragal last weekend we return home for, what is effectively, the first of three home games.
The game is scheduled for Sunday 9th November but as usual I will be getting the details as soon as I can and publish them here.
The two games we played against La Hoya last season both finished in defeats for Mazarron FC, 0-1 at home and 3-0 away, we could do with a bit of revenge against la Hoya's second team.
Last time out La Hoya beat Sucina 4-2 at home and so are on the up.
CURRENT STATS:
3rd LA HOYA P 9 W 7 D 0 L *2 GF 18 GA 7 Points 21 8th MAZARRON F.C. P 9 W 4 D 2 L 3 GF 14 GA 10 Points 14
*One of their losses was in fact a win against SC Mazarron but they were penalised for fielding an illegable player and the game was awards to the opposition as a 3-0 loss*
Keep an eye on the forum as details of this game will be updated as information comes in.

La Voz are reporting the final score as:
Mazarron FC 1 La Hoya 1
Still waiting on the federation to publish the result.
Now confirmed. A good point against a top side with lots of resources, especially as Mazarron FC were down to 10 men with Isreal being sent off for two yellow cards, pity.
Mazarron FC goal scorer TOLO from the penalty spot.
Nice to see both Cristian and Cecillio back in a much improved Mazarron FC performance in the rain.

MATCH REPORT FROM TONY JARVIS
MAZARRON FC 1 LA HOYA LORCA CF ‘B’ 1
Hola
And welcome to the outside broadcast cameras (well - at least one long lens) of the Los Amigos de Mazarron to today’s Match of the Day against La Hoya Lorca. One had hoped that this might be the top of the table clash, but recent results have left Mazarron down in eighth place with today’s opponents above them in third place.
Today welcomed back Cecilio to the squad after his work had recently taken him away; although he only started on the bench. The team had a number of returning players in the form of Lorca, Enrique and Tolo who were all missing from last week’s team. They lined up as follows; Carrasco in goal and a back four of Lorca, Antonia Jose, Alfonso and Dani, with the midfield of Liders, Manu and Enrique promoted up field, with Tolo, Diego and Pineda (Christian) up front – a three man attack that boded well.
What a difference a week can make not only in politics! Although, last week’s loss to Esparragal had seen an improvement in the play, this week’s was a revelation. Within the first 5 minutes Mazarron had a number of attacks with a great deal of passing on the ground with a number of Mazarron players involved in moving the ball up field. The midfield was not by-passed by long balls out of the defence, and was in fact heavily involved in much of what Mazarron achieved.
In the 4th minute Mazarron had Christian running down the left wing from a lovely through ball from Manu, but unfortunately there were too many La Hoya Lorca defenders around him to be able to get in a telling cross.
It was not until the 10th minute that La Hoya Lorca had their first meaningful attack which did result in a corner, but that was put into the Mazarron side-netting on the nearside; and their first shot on goal did not come until the 14th minute and ended up way over the bar, to the first chorus of ‘burro’.
In the 12th minute another Mazarron attack from a free kick was cleared by the La Hoya Lorca defender but at the expense of a corner. The ball was put into the penalty area to the far post, but unfortunately the resultant shot back only found the La Hoya Lorca side net.
What was becoming clear from the various free kicks and corners that Mazarron were awarded that the delivery of these was much better than in recent games – so it seems that some effort has been made in training to ensure that the ball when delivered has much more potential to result in a goal.
Whilst it was mainly Mazarron attacking there were the sporadic attacks by La Hoya Lorca and in one such attack in the 20th minute a game of pin-ball was played in the Mazarron penalty area, but Mazarron were able to eventually clear the danger.
In the next ten minutes or so Mazarron mounted a number of attacks with Tolo and Christen featuring prominently, with one spectacular attempt of an overhead kick by Tolo ending a 4-man move – but it went wide.
One breakaway attack by La Hoya Lorca on the half hour mark ended thanks to an over enthusiastic left winger who had strayed off-side when the Mazarron defence had got caught up field in a Mazarron attack and were struggling to get back.
In the 35th minute another passing movement by Mazarron ended with Tolo hitting a great cross from Manu on the volley, but the angle was too tight and the ball went behind the La Hoya Lorca goal. However, this chance was to precede the next Mazarron attack when Tolo carrying the ball into the La Hoya Lorca penalty area turned sharply only to be brought down by a La Hoya Lorca defender – a clear cut penalty, and the referee agreed!
Up stepped Tolo to take the penalty and it was one nil within seconds!
1-0
Within a minute Tolo was to test out his ball skills once again on the edge of the La Hoya penalty area, but there were too many defenders on this occasion and the ball was taken off him and cleared by the La Hoya Lorca defence.
In the 45th minute Antonio Jose was booked for a foul on the half-way line which resulted in a corner to La Hoya Lorca from their free kick, but it was easily gathered in by Carrasco and the referee blew for half-time with only a minute of added time.
Half-time: 1-0
The second half continued much the way that the first half had ended, with Mazarron having the majority of the attacking play, interspersed with the occasional La Hoya Lorca attack. In the 48th minute Mazarron fashioned a move including at least half-a-dozen good passes, ending with Tolo crossing from the left wing but there was no Mazarron attacker to meet it in the middle.
In the 54th minute Mazarron were awarded a fortuitous free kick (not only did your reporter believe that the foul should have been given the other way – but a number of other Mazarron supporters feared that the free kick would be given against Mazarron). The resultant fee kick by Liders was placed in the danger area for La Hoya Lorca and met by Enrique with a good header but a little too high and it went over the bar.
However, despite the majority of the attacks coming from Mazarron, the next La Hoya Lorca attack in the 56th minute resulted in a goal. La Hoya Lorca attacked down the right wing and a cross was well met by a La Hoya Lorca attacker with his head which went straight into the Mazarron net.
1-1
However, Mazarron were not too down hearted by this set back as they continued to seek the all-important goal to give them the three points. It also seemed that La Hoya Lorca were only too pleased to get back on level terms as they seldom mounted any further meaningful attacks, with your reporter only noting one further attack where the Mazarron defence had to deal with a corner that Carrasco safely gathered in.
In the 62nd minute came a substitution that had many of the Mazarron supporters questioning the tactics, as Christian was taken off and replaced by Chema – not that Chema did not take up some good positions, but it seemed a strange decision when Mazarron were quite clearly trying to get that all elusive win.
In the 65th minute the crowd’s favourite Cecilio came on for Diego, and immediately set about trying to terrorise the La Hoya Lorca defence! He charged through onto a back pass provided by the La Hoya defence which eventually gave Mazarron a corner; and from the corner Tolo shot over the bar.
In the 69th minute a lengthy discussion between the referee and the linesman on the nearside resulted in the La Hoya Lorca number 11 being shown a yellow card, but as he had already been booked it turned red and off he trooped. The speculation amongst the home supporters was that he had caught the ‘Mazarron disease’ and had questioned the linesman’s ability to provide his true lineage or that he should acquire a new set of spectacles as soon as possible.
More Mazarron attacks in the next 15 minutes or so came to nought with the odd shot going wide and resulting in a goal kick. Tolo’s name found its way into the ‘little black book’ (even though it’s a white card?) that all referees seem to have in their top pocket; after trying to beat four defenders on his own, losing the ball and fouling a defender trying to get it back.
In the 87th minute Mazarron were awarded a free kick on the edge of the La Hoya Lorca penalty area, after a defender was given a yellow card for a foul on a Mazarron player. According to some (including your reporter and the Los Amigos El Presidente) this was a “blatant miscarriage of justice” as the defender was the last man.
As was to be the theme throughout this match Mazarron were not able to make anything of the free kick; and the referee blew for the end of the match a few minutes later; but not before sending the Mazarron substitute Isreal to the dressing room early for something he must have said to the nearside linesman. Clearly, this linesman was a sensitive soul as he had managed indirectly to get two players an early bath!!
Full Time: 1-1
Summary
In my view this performance compared extremely well with those at the beginning of the season. The football was good, the passing was good, and they committed more people to attack when they had the ball. They didn’t just kick the ball out of defence and hope, but played the ball out of defence by looking for a Mazarron player. This meant that the midfield came much more into the game then had happened in previous matches, and the midfield as a result was much more creative.
If I have a criticism it is that the number of shots on target could be counted on one hand, and that applied to both teams. The goal keepers were really only called on to deal with corners which both goal minders did with ease. Any free headers or shots that came the way of both teams always seemed to go over the bar, or wide of the posts.
However, much better entertainment than previous matches!
Team: Carrasco, Lorca, Dani, Antonio Jose, Alfonso, Liders, Enrique, Manu, Diego (Cecilio), Tolo, Christen (Chema)
Man of the Match: Tolo
That’s it from your roving reporter for a while; I’m handing you back to the studio and Alan – a cultured Scouser (is that not a contradiction in terms?) – who I believe is taking over whilst I enjoy the delights of the grandchildren and Christmas in the UK (perhaps that’s a contradiction in terms also?).
