For those that couldn't make it, the sad news is that we are out of the
cup, we lost 2-1 with the winner coming in spectacular style with
virtually the last kick of the match.

After the success of our last cup game on the same pitch, we once again
elected to play up the slope in the first half. We started brightly, so
it was something of a shock to go 1-0 down when a good turn and finish
from a tight angle saw us chasing the game after only 5 minutes. The
Bryan's responded well and soon on level terms thanks to a cheeky shot
through the goalies legs by Dave.

At this stage we were playing some fantastic one touch football, which
really was a joy to watch, Tony hit the inside of the post after some
wonderful play but the second goal just wouldn't come. At half time we
were disappointed to be on level terms but confident that if we kept on
playing the same way, we could progress to the next round. In truth we
were never as fluent in 2nd half creating a few half chances, and were
unlucky again when Jonny hit the post and saw the ball roll over the
keeper, only for him to claw it back from the goal line.

Wanderer's had a much more equal share of the game in the 2nd half an
it looked as though extra time was on the cards, when they mounted one
last attack. This resulted in a corner, the ball was cleared well
outside the box, only to thumped back in on the volley by a defender
who apparently never shoots! From the kick off we tried the 50 yard
shot from the kick off routine, sadly the ball went wide and the final
whistle was blown - The Bryan's were out of the cup.

Take heart from the exhilarating first half performance though chaps,
it was really quite special.

The next game is scheduled for November 25th, we have been approached
about playing on November 18th. Can you let me know ASAP if you are yes
or a no for this date.
