Brentford 1 Scunthorpe United 0

This was a match that seemed destined to be a close game score wise and form tables suggested that Scunthorpe where favourites despite league standing.

Before the match the club welcomed Volunteer Police Cadets into the ground on a kind of recruitment drive. Interestingly the leaflet said 'Volunteer with us. Be part of building the future of London' think of this what you will...

Also before the match the club welcomed Abbey Rangers under 11's to be the flag bearers for the teams entrance. Whilst waiting to go on to the hallowed turf, the team where delighted when Brentford's number 1 goalkeeper Richard Lee and number 7 Sam Saunders popped over for quick photo with the young lads.

I think the community spirit of the club is something that really needs to be applauded as it is fantastic that unlike certain other big London clubs, Brentford players are often seen having photos with and signing autographs for fans of all ages! I do hope that this continues as the club moves up the leagues...

Now, back to the match...

The first half started off close with Scunny having the better of proceedings early on. After this Brentford mounted on the pressure and went close through Sam Saunders from a free kick after a blatent hand ball by the Scunthorpe keeper who couldnt seem to catch a ball.

The second half was much the same as the 1st, Brentford seemed to dominate with occasional attacks from Scunny who briefly called Simon Moore into action.

 The crucial blow occured in the 70th minute when substitute Tom Adeyemi pounced on a loose ball inside the box and fired home! BEES 1 SCUNNY 0

After the goal Brentford continued to dominate with Bradley Wright-Phillips going close and the Bees had other chances created by substitute Stuart Dallas. There was no comeback from the visitors, even with former Bee, Mike Grella coming on as a late sub.

The match finished Brentford 1 Scunthorpe United 0.

The Buzz Blog man of the match goes to Brentford midfielder JAKE REEVES.
