Newhaven FC host Hassocks FC in the SCFL Premier League at Fort Road |
|
The Dockers ⚓ face The Robins in a six pointer between 2 of the top 6. Newhaven have a run of home games and need to turn that in to good points. There are a couple of changes to the 11 with Jake on crutches👀😭 so Dan Gibson is in goal. Little, Captain Little today, is left back and Harry Reed is wearing 7 on the right wing. The weather is predicted to be very very wet indeed but let's hope the forecast is wrong. I can't swim.
The Dockers started brighter and it looks like they are ahead on 9 from Harry Reed but the officials decided that the ball didn't cross the line. They really do go ahead on 21 ⚽when Alfie makes no mistake from the spot after Harry is felled in the box. The lead lasts all of 3 minutes when the Robins walk through the defence likes it's not there. The Dockers failed to regain control and looked more likely to concede again but made it to the break with it all level.
The second half happened apparently but it was utterly forgettable 💤. It was scrappy with both sides having a few half chances. Newhaven did perk up towards the end but couldn't find the quality to make it count. It's equal at the final whistle and we just glad it's over.
We come here so that we get to watch at least some decent football but that was like watching Tranmere today. Maybe the weather or the nerves of a six pointer but it didn't even have the energy levels to become bad tempered. Hopefully that means they will be full of beans on Tuesday for the PB Cup🤞.
POTM: It’s a hard one but goes again the Ryans, Blunt and Warwick again🏅🏅.
The officials did OK and were at least consistent. Ref let a lot go and that can go wrong but didn't tonight. Only oddity was a booking for Alfie when the challenge looked like a 50-50. Still we have seen much worse decisions and will no doubt do so again. 5th official was very quiet but maybe be lack of enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone.
See you on Halloween 🎃
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
