ILFRACOMBE F.A.VASE CUP

MARKING THE DAY

The day was marked with the first meeting between the clubs ,brought together for the F.A.Vase. We were taking on some-what unknown quality, but cup-ties are settled on the day. As it was, we had a dream start within the first 5mins when "Mark Berry" just managed to hook the ball back into the danger area. With the bounce of the high ball, their defence failed to stop the ball crossing the line. I thought the first half we were the more dominant side. Maybe going in on the break with more credit than the slender goal. After the break we some-what let them back in the game. I was all ready to see them score , to get them back on level pegs !. But we managed to soak up the pressure . The visitors then came at us , but in doing so had to contend with the quick breakaways. In the 80min it paid off. "Mark Berry" worked the ball to the near post, all credit to him he could have claimed the glory. But he laid the ball back gift wrapped for "Andy Sargent" to slam home. It was purely game over for "Ilfracombe". Scroll down for some action.
