Ford crash and burn in League Cup Quarter Final

Chandlers Ford Youth 0-11 East Lodge A

League Cup Quarter Final – 15th March 2009

Line up: Kelvin Bagot, Josh Harrigan, Michael Sawbridge (c), Liam Godfrey, David Kilcoyne, David Bromhead, Tom Ashton, Ahmed Sfagsi, Zak Pickett, Ryan Chinn, Jozef Montigue.

Subs: Jake Beattie, Kane Kellaway, Miles Hodge, Michael Wall.

Chandlers Ford could not handle the sheer quality and passing football of a very strong A Division side, who in reality were streets above CFY as displayed by the final score line.

The game was always going to be tough-going for Richard and Neil's side having already suffered a heavy 8-0 defeat in November to be knocked out of the Hampshire Cup.

David Bromhead came the closest to grabbing a consolation goal for the Blues in the second half following good work by Tom Ashton who delivered a pinpoint cross. David glanced towards goal with a great header that flew just narrowly wide of the upright.

Despite getting plenty of men behind the ball, Ford were unable to deal with the overwhelming pressure and one-way traffic that East Lodge imposed on their goal.

The visitors were also rewarded two penalties, one in either half, perhaps demonstrating some of the frustration from the CFY players. Back to the league next week where a win against Bridgemary will keep us in good shape for the title.

HALF TIME: CFY 0-5 East Lodge A

FULL TIME: CFY 0-11 East Lodge A

Men of the match: Jozef Montigue and Liam Godfrey
