A deserved win for Ditton who evidently wanted it more than us! They were faster, sharper and hungrier all over the pitch.
Ditton took the lead through a harsh penalty, when our defender won the ball with a sliding challenge, but admittedly there was some shirt pulling and tussling going on outside the box that did warrant Ditton a free kick.
Ivy pulled it back level following a knock down from a corner.
Ditton then got a further 2 before half time, following good build up play and then Ivy failing to clear there lines from a corner.
In the second half Ivy got themselves a penalty, through what looked a rash challenge on the attacker from the last man. Surprisingly the defender was sent off, which i do find bizarre for Saturday league football.
At 3-2 the wind was definitely in Ivy's sail's and should have made it 3-3, but the Ivy player managed to miss a free header on an open goal from a couple of yards out.
Ditton's 4th came from a freak own goal when a floated cross was diverted from the defender into the corner of the goal as he mistimed his header.
Ditton's final goal came from a good counter attack, with a first time cross and a glancing header.
Well played to Ditton, who are going to take some stopping now not to finish top of the league.
I know Ditton seem to get a bad name for their attitude, but before the kick off and after the final whistle they are a great bunch of lads, and i know i personally have a good laugh with some of the lads.
