Match report by Joel Longworth

Goals from the captain Jimmy Spencer and Stefan Mols saw them take all three points after Alex Wiles put Scarborough ahead.

The game began with Curzon having the first chance of the game through Jordan Richards as he ran down the right hand side, whipped a great cross into Stefan Mols whose shot was claimed by Whitley. Scarborough then began to grow into the game with them having back to back freekicks however they both landed in the hands of Bobby Jones.

Midway through the first half The Nash had a chance to break the deadlock through Isaac Sinclair, William Hayhurst played the ball over Scarborough’s defence as Sinclair’s first time volley was comfortably saved by Ryan Whitley.

Shortly after, Scarborough went down the other end and had a massive chance to go in front as Harry Green danced his way through Curzon’s defence but blasted his shot over. A couple of minutes later The Nash had a great opportunity to go in front through new signing Alex Curran as Curzon took a short corner and smashed his long range shot off the right post. Another glorious opportunity arose for Curzon as Isaac Buckley-Ricketts ran down the right hand side and whipped a great ball to Isaac Sinclair whose header was smashed over the bar from a few yards out.

The first half came to an end as The Nash created great opportunities to go in front but were lacking the cutting edge in front of goal.

HT 0-0

Curzon started the second half slowly with Scarborough having a great chance to go in front as Hayhurst’s failed clearance fell to Dom Tear who smashed his volley over the bar. The 54th minute arrived, Curzon had a freekick, up stepped Luke Griffiths whose brilliant freekick was saved by Whitley with Stefan Mols picking up the scraps squaring it to Marcus Poscha who hit his shot over the bar. 3 minutes later, Scarborough went in front through Alex Wiles, he was found inside the Curzon box and placed his right footed shot into the bottom left corner.

Griffiths had another freekick opportunity for The Nash which was saved and no one from Curzon could react quick enough to follow up. The 66th minute arrived, Curzon equalised through captain Jimmy Spencer’s 8th goal of the season. His right footed shot from outside of the box was deflected and trickled into the net.

Three minutes later The Nash went in front through Stefan Mols’ 18th goal of the season. Curzon broke from a Scarborough attack as Isaac Buckley-Ricketts’ shot smashed off the post and kindly landed at Stefan Mols’ feet who tapped it into the net.

Into the final ten minutes of the game Scarborough were trying to create problems for The Nash but they were holding firm.

FT 2-1 – Curzon move back into the playoffs as they look to start a winning run in March.

Curzon will look to continue this running run as they travel to Radcliffe next Saturday afternoon.
