F.A VASE REPLAY

"THE SWANS WERE ALL AT SEA !!"

The replay went as I expected, on the hallowed turf of "Bolitho Park". I knew from the first game , that we would be too strong for them at home. A perfect night, and a good crowd saw some good football on display. The first 20mins they gave us some pressure, but then we settled down and were well in control. To give us the lead, Ross Saint fired low into the corner of the net. Before the break we struck again, this time Dean Smith found space and finished with a fine shot. Second half there was only one side in the tie. Jonny Morris got on the end of a cross from Mat Cusack, his first time shot crashed home. Off the bench came Gavin Cockman, and I knew full well with his strength he would add to their problems. How right I was when he found the target to bring the final tally of 4 goals. It was a sporting game and all credit to the visitors for their effort up to the 90min whistle. But on the night we were too strong in all areas. For my club man of the match award, it would have to be shared. I'm glad to say there were too many names in the frame for my final decision ??. Next game now on Sat away to our old rivals "Ivybridge Town". See you there.
