BUDLEIGH SALTERTON F.A.VASE REPLAY

THE HOME CROWD
A good crowd on a perfect night for football, turned out to witness a great cup-tie. Play was end to end with respective keepers forced to make some brave saves. The visitors had to apply to an early set-back with a straight red card ,being reduced to ten men for dangerous play. However, it was the second period, before we broke the dead-lock. "Lee Doel" just inside the box, let go a screamer in the roof of the net to give us the lead. This was followed when good work by "Shane Powell"on the left flank. Heavily marked ,he still managed to get the ball in the box for "sniffer Ryan Fice "to force the ball over from close in. We were now the dominate side ,and went close again this time "Eddy Edwards" hitting the woodwork with a great effort. Our front runners were too strong for the Budleigh defence to handle. Not forgetting the services and skills of "Martin Sullivan" missing on the left flank being side-lined through injury. But the result was good,and the powers to be must have been well pleased to see us into the next round. This will be again unknown quality by the name of "Ilfracombe Town" at home.

Stay tuned "Lidds on the line"
