Twenty 3 is the Magic Number

Newhaven FC U23 v  Hastings FC U23 in the Sussex Under 23s Challenge Cup Final at Sussex FA Headquarters

On a cold night at Culver Road and it was a miserable night for the young Dockers.  The Haystacks were too strong for them and took an early lead. They consolidated it quickly and were 3 up at the break.  Aaron was shown a straight red for a tackle in the box and the penalty made it 5-0.  

It was noticeable how much colder it gets when you are losing.  Max Vardy gave us a much needed chance to warm up when he put the ball in the "U"s net for the first time so it finished 5-1.

Well done to Kieron for playing ALL under 23s and not exploiting the rules that allow senior players to be included in the squad.  Must be frustrating when you have worked hard for your place only to then lose it to a senior player for a big game.  Just sayin!   And Keiron's Mum and Dad were lovely.  Hope he wasn't too grumpy afterwards.

We are waiting for Sue Gray's report into the standard of the refereeing but we will be reporting it to the Police anyway.  šŸš“

POTM:  Max Vardy for giving us something to celebrate just as frostbite was about to kick in.☃️

Thanks for the hot chocolate, was needed.  ☕

See you somewhere soon.
