EASTER weekend could mean only one thing for our 'Spotlight' section - Jermaine was the man for the crucial promotion clash with Watford at Home Park.

Known to his team-mates as Jammy, he has hardly lived up to that name in recent weeks with a combination of great goalkeeping and hesitant finishing denying him the goals his endeavour has deserved.

Last Saturday's 2-1 win at Bristol City was a fine example of Jammy's season. A committed performance, but strike-partner Rory Fallon won the headlines by bagging the goals.

The two men kept their place for the meeting with the Hornets in front of the largest crowd of the season on a very windy day at the Theatre of Greens.

It was a frustrating opening ten minutes for Jammy with the ball generally avoiding him, but when it did come his way, he released Gary Teale on the right and the Scottish international sprinted away from his man before firing an ambitious drive comfortably over Richard Lee's crossbar.

The colossal figure of Dan Shittu was Jammy's direct opponent and it took our man 20 minutes to win his first battle with Watford's version of Krisztián Timár. Jammy won a cheap throw-in from Shittu and very nearly got on the end of Gary Sawyer's subsequent hurl into the box.

Their next meeting was painful for both parties, as Shittu leaned over Jammy to head clear and leave both men wincing on the turf.

The frustration just seemed to mount for Jammy as the half progressed. Conditions and the tactics of the opposition made it a game more suited to Rory, who was continuing his fine form from Ashton Gate.

Frustration turned to delight on 35 minutes when Rory poked a ball through the Hornets defence for Jammy to race clear and fire a wonderful finish past Lee and into the far corner.

It was written in the Home Park scriptures and, unlike recent opportunities, Easter looked confident and assured, but a lot of credit should also go to the contribution made by devout Christian, Rory Fallon.

The one problem for Argyle was the goal looked marginally offside, and the footballing Gods wiped out the injustice just three minutes later when Lee Williamson equalised with a magical free-kick.

Rory remained fantastic for the rest of the first-half. The big Kiwi was dominating Watford's massive defence in the air and Jammy was zipping around with the renewed confidence a goal can give.

Jammy's opening gambit in the second-half was an over-hit threaded pass for the run of an unusually quiet Péter Halmosi - the Hungarian was suffering more than most in the bluster.

Comedy moment of the day arrived on 55 minutes when Jammy attempted to throw the ball back to the referee for a free-kick. Phil Joslin wasn't paying attention and the ball struck him in the face.

Jammy immediately pleaded innocence, but Mr Joslin was not amused. The Green Army chortled in unison as our man, after a fair amount of grovelling, eventually won a smile from the official.

Comedy turned to drama when Halmosi's poor challenge on Matt Sadler prompted an angry reaction from the Watford bench. It looked like a Paul Gascoigne moment for Péter, as he was left far worse off than his intended victim.

A couple of planks on the Watford bench decided to throw water bottles at Péter, despite the fact he was clearly in a lot of distress. Lilian Nalis, warming-up on the side, was ready to pile in to the culprits as the game turned very sour.

Péter, who had been booked moments before, was shown a second yellow card, and therefore a red, as he was carried away on a stretcher.

Football gradually returned as the main theme of the afternoon and Jammy cleverly won a free-kick in Paul Wotton territory on 79 minutes, and the skipper responded by slamming in a low drive that Lee only kept out with the aid of a post.

Football stopped again when Rory sustained a heavy injury in the midfield and Paul Sturrock sent on Timár as an emergency centre-forward partner for Jammy.

The Beast from Budapest introduced himself to Shittu with a bone-shattering challenge that sent the Watford defender flying - football really can be a beautiful game.

Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd responded by sending Shittu forward, and the game ended with giant defenders playing up front for both teams.

You really can't beat the Championship for drama.

Well played Jermaine and Happy Easter.
