We started the match very confidently against bottom of the table Old Guilfordians, controlling the game from the middle of the park. Demari and Jason were both denied by some excellent, if slightly exaggerated saves (he must have seen the cameras rolling).
We could have easily been a few goals ahead after the first 20 mins.Of course then the OGs stole the first goal with a header from a free kick, given for absolutely nothing as far as I can tell. We swiftly replied after a quick one-two between Mike and myself, followed by a surprisingly calm finish into the bottom corner, 1-1.
We had the momentum and more chances followed before half time, but it took until the second half for our dominance to be rewarded.
There were a flurry of goals in a ten minute spell, first directly from a George corner with an accomplished dummy at the near post from Lundie. Theo next with a precise lob of the keeper, followed by a goal from Luke as OTs raced into a 4-1 lead. It was a bit of a blur so may have got the order wrong here.
With the competition over, we relaxed (or tired) and the pace of the game slowed. The ref felt fit to give them further consolation by awarding a penalty for absolutely nothing as far as I can tell. Their striker comfortably stroked the ball home with almost the final kick of the game. Final score 4-2, but we could have scored double that if not for some decent goal keeping.
