Newhaven FC away to Saltdean United FC at Hill Park in the the RUR Cup semi-final
The Dockers are up against the Tigers on a damp and cold Sussex night. Second and third in the league meet with the prize of appearance in the final. Having seen the 2nd round away to Little common back in November, Newhaven have made it to the semi-final.
The depleted Dockers team struggled to get into any rhythm and there was very little attacking football from either side. A clear handball for a penalty was ignored. The Tigers made a break from a lucky bounce and scored from their first shot on target. 😠 The visitors best chance was lost due a ridiculous offside call. Defenders on the line are still defenders.
Newhaven gained a bit more control after the break and camped out in the Saldean half for long periods but the ball always seemed to bounce to a red shirt. They kept the pressure on and big Robbo blazed the best chance of the game over the bar in the last minute. So this cup run comes to an end. Another semi next Tuesday. Hope that goes better.
Rumours that the ball was bouncing so badly due to large sums of money buried under the pitch have yet to be disproved. 💰
Catering was excellent and hot chocolate a solid 8/10.
POTM: Lots of individual good performances but it goes to Woody in goal for helping out at the last minute.
It's cold and wet and time to go home.
See you soon
