For the first time since August, Paddock failed to score a single goal in a game &#8211; something Ste&#8217;s men will be hoping is just an anomaly.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The game started fairly evenly however, in the 20th minute, the away side broke the deadlock. A nicely struck shot from outside the box was headed goal-wards but fortunately, straight in to the path of Paddock&#8217;s keeper, Dan McKenna. Disaster struck. A mistake from the home side&#8217;s keeper saw the ball bounce underneath him and into the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>5 minutes later, the away side doubled their lead. A shot from a similar position to the first goal was guided into the bottom corner of McKenna&#8217;s net. This time round, there was not much Paddock&#8217;s man in net could do &#8211; 2-0 St Michaels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HT: Stretford Paddock 0-2 St Michaels DH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first 5 minutes of the second half were bright for Stretford Paddock however, a sloppy mistake resulted in a terrible start. Paddock were pressed whilst in possession and then a loose pass from Kayode Adewale left St Michaels number 9 in on goal. The visitors&#8217; attacker nicely beat the keeper and slotted the ball into an empty net to score his side&#8217;s third goal of the day.<\/p>\n<p>In minute 60, St Michaels put the game to bed. A freekick from 30 yards out quite beautifully hit around the wall and into the near corner of the goal. Paddock were on their way to their first loss since November.<\/p>\n<p>Before the 70th minute mark, things began to border on embarrassing for Paddock as they conceded goal number 5. St Michaels&#8217; number 7 received the ball in behind the Paddock defence after a beautifully waited pass from his teammate in the middle of the park. What followed was a direct and skilful run goal-wards before a perfectly executed finish past the keeper from a tight angle.<\/p>\n<p>Already well and truly defeated, Paddock were handed the chance for a consolation goal when substitute, Cameron Watters, was brought down in the box in the 85th minute. Vice captain, Nosa Iyamu&#8217;s penalty however, was saved to complete a truly forgettable day for Stretford Paddock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FT: Stretford Paddock 0-5 St Michaels DH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Stretford Paddock<\/strong>: Daniel McKenna, James Oatt (C), Thomas MacFarlane, Michael Burke, Paulo Incaque, Dom Molloy, Nosa Iyamu, Janiero Salmon-Harris, Tom Jones, Joao De Andrade, Abdullah Saeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subs<\/strong>: Kayode Adewale, Ronaldo Brown, Raphe Barber, Cameron Watters, Nasser Shakoor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 3 consecutive wins and a lengthy winter break, Stretford Paddock&#8217;s return to action saw them concede 5 goals at home to St Michaels DH.
