Parking the Buss

Newhaven FC v Crawley Down FC at the Trafalgar Ground in the Quarter Final of the Peter Bentley Cup

Ford Road hosts the Dockers v the Anvil on another cold night but this time it's a cup game πŸ†with the winners going into a Semi-final against Godalming or Pagham.  The game needs a result on the night so there is threat of extra time and penalties .  Could be a late one.

It was a lively battle but the Dockers usual skill and discipline showed and rewarded the with a goal in each half.  A brace for Lucas.  They missed a number of easy chances so could and should have run away with it.  The visitors had a number of shots on target but Jake made a great couple of saves.

There was also some comedy defending form the Dockers,  luckily nothing came of it.  Harold Lloyd may have been impressed but it made the manager quite cross.😑

One a sliding scale of Mike Dean to Smug Tory, the ref measured up a moderately Smug LibDem.  Could have been worse but could also have been a lot better.  

Biggest disappointment of the Night!!!  No ferry!!!  WTF, felt like asking for a refund. πŸ›³πŸ’°πŸ€¬

POTM: Award goes to Jake (double decker parked across the goal) Buss for some excellent saves and good distribution.   Who knew it's not a legal requirement for the keeper to HOOOFF long balls to the opposition defenders?  Not me. 😯

Hot chocolate was a solid 6/10 after being an initial no show.

Was glad to get home in the warm.  Hope to see you in Wales. 

Well done to Horsham in their cup game.
