Little Common ground sharing with Eastbourne United until their ground updates are finished so the Dockers headed to Eastbourne on a cold Tuesday night to take the the Green Lane Boys on the lumpy pitch at the Oval.
Big Robbo put the blue clad Dockers in front on 3 minutes and Seb scored the second to make it 2-0 at the break.
Robbo scored his second then James strike deflected of the ref, who was standing in the way again, to loop over the keeper into the net for the 4th. Alfie had a late penalty saved to keep the scored to 4-0. A 3rd round tie at home to Peacehaven is the prize.
It was a feisty game which the pitch didn't help and a few players went off injured, not helped by the ref who offered the players no protection from overzealous challenges.
Nice of the ref to come out on a cold night the day before he gets his cataracts done. Gave us plenty of entertainment to keep us warm. Nice that he got some autographs in his book.
POTM: Ken, the lino on our side, he stayed in good humour through the barrage of banter, even got a couple of decisions correct.
Thanks for the hospitality, hope you get back to your home soon.
See you soon.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
