Newhaven FC v Oakwood FC at Tinsley lane in the RUR Cup 2nd Round |
|
The Dockers finally make it to Tinsley Lane to face the Oaks in the RUR Cup after the postponement a couple of weeks ago. It's Bonfire night so we are expecting fireworks all around us but hopefully not on the pitch. The Dockers lost 5-0 away to Hassocks on Saturday . Hoping for a nice quiet win. Bussy back in goal is a good sign. It starts badly for the Dockers when the Oaks score from nowhere on 9. There is lots of protest about off-side and Bailie ends up booked. Lee levels the score a minute later. A couple more Dockers goals from Bailie and Luke Donaldson sees the half finish 1-3.
The second half sees a few more chances but no goals for the Dockers. The Oaks get a late second and the momentum is with them. Thankfully is not going to penalties as the Dockers hold on for the win. 2-3. WemberleeeeEastbourne.
A good win for the Reds but it was too nervy at the end (again) although they did hang on for the win this time. Newhaven are through to the Semi-finals and will be away at Eastbourne United in January. Hope we find a bit more form by then. And a few more return from injury.
POTM: There will be some tired legs out there after that shift but it goes to Koby for great work in attack and defence.
The ref will have had better days. He didn't protect the young lino who got 'Roger'd' And booking Breachy at the end to give us all a laugh.
Love Tranmerekat 🐾
