Sydenhams League (Wessex) Combination Cup

Christchurch Res 2    Laverstock & Ford 0

It was always going to be difficult going into this game after beating them 11-0 in the league and it was noticeable they had a few different faces in their side. The lads set about there task well making good chances in the opening minutes and after a good spell of pressure Craig Davey opened the scoring after rounding the keeper to slot home. Laverstock were a better side on this occasion but the Church defense held strong and after 30 mins Chris Mawer had the keeper beaten with a superb 30 yard shot only to see it thunder down off the bar, Craig was the quickest to react and headed the ball home for his second.

Half - Time 2-0

We started the second half brightly but allowed Laverstock to have a 15 minute spell where we soaked up a bit of pressure but after making further chances ourselves and failing to convert them the game finished at 2 - 0 which was disappointing after a good 1st half.

We now play Winchester City Res in the next round at Hurn Bridge.
