Home cup match played on 08 March 2014.
Kicked off at 10:00 AM

This was our second match of the group against Maltman Athletic and we were firm favourites going into it against lower league opposition and although we dominated the game in long spells we were made to work hard for the victory with just the one goal settling it.

We started the game well and had a few decent chances before taking the lead midway through the first half with a great team goal which was finished off by Liam Milne after being set up by Jack. We could have added to the lead with more first half chances but went in at the break with a deserved one goal lead.

HT 1-0

In the second half we were always looking in control of the game but with just the one goal lead there was always the danger of them grabbing an equaliser on the break. We had a few more good chances in the second half and the best of these chances fell to the skipper when Craig put in a great cross into the box and Ryan got in front of the defence to get on the end of it but from 4 yards out with the goal gaping managed to somehow put it over the crossbar for the miss of the seasonL. Then in the dying minutes the Maltman forced a couple of corners as they chased an equaliser. The Maltman keeper came upfield for the corner and as we broke on the counter the ball fell to Tam and with no keeper in their goal he saw the chance to score from just inside their half but as he attempted to strike the ball his legs gave way and his effort trickled about 6 yards along the ground much to the amusement of everyone watching.

FT 1-0
