Newhaven FC away to Horsham FC in the Sussex Senior Cup 3rd round at the Camping World Stadium
The Dockers ⚓️ are away to the Hornets 🐝 for the first competitive meeting between the teams on a freezing night 🥶 in Sussex. The pitch is almost clear of snow ⛄️. It's a strong squad from the Dockers with Roman on in place of Jake and big Robbo on the bench. Dougie Tuck is on the bench for the Hornets. Saving him as a super sub? Strange match for us this as we are normally here supporting the Hornets. Tonight we are 100% Dockers.
Dockers were under pressure from the start and there were a few near misses. Hornets got a penalty on 13 and it was well taken by Tom Kavanagh. No stopping that. Uphill struggle gets steeper. Fantastic goal from Charlie Hester-Cook made it 2-0 on 33. Another pen from Tom on 38 made it 3-0 at the break.😢
Newhaven start better but are being out classed and can't break through. Charlie scores another stunner on 58 and Eddie Dsane finally gets his goal on 65. 5 down and it's freezing 🥶. Need a goal. Alfie gets free on 73 ⚽️ and calmly rounds the keeper to make it 5-1. The consolation goal arrives just in time to stave off frost bite. Alfie could have had a second in the dying seconds but put it wide.
Another cup 🏆 run over but an enjoyable one in which we beat the Hawks and visited the Hop Oast. We were outclassed on the night by a team 2 league above us. We played well and never sat back, always trying to play our attacking style. Just a shame the Dougie didn't play so we could give him a big BOOOO.
Officials officiated albeit, very badly at times.🤦
Scanometer's current favourite ground with it's Plant 🥬 Burger 🍔 and Chips 🍟 scoring a 9/10 👍. Again. The hot chocolate raised it's game to a 10! 👍👍 Fantastic result on such a cold night.
See you soon when it's hopefully a bit warmer.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
