It was derby day in Milton Keynes last Saturday at Unite MK welcomed MK Gallacticos to Manor Fields for a Spartan South Midlands League Division Two game. The match saw 4th placed Gallacticos playing 9th placed Unite - Unite had been well beaten 3-5 by Mursely United in their last game with the visitors going into the game on the back of 0-2 defeat to Grendon Rangers.
On a bobbly pitch this was a scrappy game at times in front of a crowd of twenty-two people but it was the away side who created the best chances in the first half. They took the lead via Demarlo Smith on the half hour mark when he pounced on the ball after a mistake at the back by Unite to slot the ball home nicely. Unite hit back almost immediately after this and hit the post from the close range but it was 0-1 at the break.
On 61 minutes it was 0-2 when Josh Smith finished well after a quick break up field by Gallacticos. Unite scored 74 minutes via Nick Doherty who looping cross/shot (depending on who you speak to and how you view it) from way outside of the penatly box sailed into the corner.
The final score was greeted with lots of cheers and celebration from the visitors & their supporters who had come along to watch.
