Newhaven FC Women v Fulham FC Women in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round at Fort Road
The Dockers ⚓ face the Badgers 🦡 from a higher division on the first step on the Road 🛣 to Wembley 🏟. Only 720 minutes to play until the Semi-finals under the Arch. It's going to be tough as Fulham in various guises have won the FA Cup 3 times 🏆🏆🏆 although not for 2 decades. Oops. And been runners up 3 times. More Oops. Let's hope for a cup upset this afternoon. The rain has stopped so let's get the journey started.
The visitors looked a class above when they walked out with their names on their shirts. Extra Oops. The home team were under pressure from the kick off but thanks to Annie in goal it looked like they might make it to half time without conceding. Hopes were dashed by Ogle on 35 minutes and it was 2-0 at the break thanks to True.
The difficult became the impossible as True and Ogle quickly made it 4. A quick 5th from Heasman left the Dockers looking for a consolation goal. Their tired legs were unable to break through and have the crossbar to thank for saving the possible 6th goal.
The score line didn't reflect the effort and organisation of the Dockers who were simply outclassed by a better team for a brief period either side of the break. Good test against tough opposition and a fair result doesn't make the defeat any easier. Cup action next week but hopefully easier opposition.
POTM: Annie Hills who's heroic efforts kept the score line in single figures.
It would be polite to say the ref has had better days but he is always like that. A couple of dreadful decisions and always in the way 🤦.
Scranometer not on duty today. Hot chocolate was also a no show with a coffee all that was available. 😕
The Dockers sign off from the road to Wembley and we are off on the train 🚆 to Wembley to see the Lionesses 🦁 v USA. Excited or what 🥳.
See you Soon
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
