Revenge for last year!

ooooooh yes, we made it through in the end; and I think we deserved it. From where I was standing we had by far the greater amount of possession.
We had the hunger, we made runs into open space, we met the ball and had great control. We gave them little time on the ball, we tackled back.

It was an impressive performance and I congratulate all who took part.

At half time it seemed the fates had conspired against us with Harleston scoring twice, against the run of play, in the 30th and 31st minutes of the first half, to lead 0-2.
It was sweet justice that we should likewise score twice in the last 5 minutes of the game......and fitting too that the goals came from two of the most influential players on the park, Tim Thompson and Jem Allen.
And so to penalty strokes; we missed our first, Harleston missed their first two, but thereafter Rob Johnson, Jem Allen & Jerry Herod put in 3 consecutive strokes against 2 from Harleston. Brilliant.

Thanks to all who played and to all who supported.....next round opponents will likely be posted Tue or Wed on EH website (Dec 3rd for your diary!)

Thanks to Bill and Tony for umpiring.

Well done everyone, Norman.
