Sundays game was a quarter final clash against a very strong thorncliffe side. It was a game of few chances with both teams cancelling each other out constantly. We took the lead with a brilliantly struck free kick from Louie from 20 yards who bent it over the keeper into the far top corner ⚽️ thorncliffe equalised in the second half with a good goal on there part. They then took the lead with a ball into box that we didn’t clear and put it past Gabe who had no chance. With the minutes ticking away the lads kept trying to find a way back into the game and we drew level after Josh put a great ball into the box that Oscar latched onto and had a strike which thorncliffe cleared off the line but Jake D was there on the rebound to finish and take it to penalties ⚽️ Oscar stepped up first and put it straight into the top corner ⚽️ Gabe then stepped up and pulled off a great save down to his right 🧤Carter stepped up next and confidently struck it to the keepers right leaving him no chance ⚽️ thorncliffe scored the following pen to make it 2-1 to us. Next up was reggie who put it into the bottom right corner and there keeper got his hand to it but couldn’t keep it out ⚽️ thorncliffe scored again 3-2. Josh was next and he couldn’t have placed it any better as it come off the inside of the post and in ⚽️ Thorncliffe scored again 4-3. Last up was Gabe who needed to score to send us through, as calm as you like he walked up and put it into the top right corner to seal our place in the semi final ⚽️ a fantastic performance from the lads yet again who showed unbelievable character to get back into the game and believed in themselves to get the win 👏🏻

Sundays game saw us travel to Barnsley to face north gawber in the first round of the cup. Think the lads had a bit of jet lag in the first half as the energy levels were low and we never got going. We got deservedly punished with north gawber taking the lead early on after they cut us open far too easily. Our only chances of the half come from Reggie from distance and we went into half time lucky that it was only 1. After a few choice words at half time we demanded more from the lads and they delivered. We upped the tempo, got our passing going and the chances started coming our way with Reggie, Carter, Jake D and Oscar all going close. We got the equaliser after Oscar was manhandled in the box and he cooly converted the penalty into the bottom corner ⚽️ both teams entered the last 5 minutes pushing for the win but it all ended all square and went straight to penalties! Oscar stepped up first and smashed it into the top corner ⚽️ Gabe in between the sticks dove right to pull off a great save 🧤 Carter then rifled his pen into the top corner ⚽️ this time Gabe dove left to pull off another fantastic save 🧤 Reggie made it 3 top bins from 3 with a bullet ⚽️ it was all down to Gabe to cement the win and his massive presence put the opposition off and it went off target to get us through to the quarter finals. A game of two halves but the lads showed great character when needed to get back into the game and held there nerve in the big moments 👏🏻
