Barnstonworth Premier 2 (3) Manhattan Kickers 2 (5)
Goals: Nedgy Nazon? 60' Allen Tardieu 90'
Rovers went down to the Kickers in the PK's after a see-saw second half. The first half was all quiet in terms of goals but Nedgy was unlucky to not score as two of his efforts were cleared off the line. Stav's thru ball found Kendall, who passed up his own shot to square to Nedgy. The keeper parried Nedgy's shot only for his defender to clear it away. The next one was a thru ball that Nedgy dinked over the keeper again only for the Kickers defender to clear off the line. Their only real chance in the first half was a rocket from MacKinnon's mate Colin that Kevin was able to just parry wide.
The second half saw Kickers get the lead after a flurry of long throw-ins led to a goalmouth melee that their large striker was able to poke in. We soon equalized when Kendall nicked the ball off one of their midfielders, he fed Marlon on the right who crossed for Nedgy? to score from the 6 yd box. We stepped up the pressure and created several good chances but were unable to score. They took the lead again on the break when their guy crossed to an unmarked forward at the far post who headed home. We managed an equalizer late when Duane soloed down the left side, cut inside, just losing the ball but not before the ref blew a delayed foul. Coach Robbie insisted Emman take the free, but stubborn Nedgy insisted it was his to take. He curled it to Duane who flicked on for Allen to tap in from close range. One minute later, the ref blew the whistle for 90 minutes. Our second PK cup match in 3 tries.
Long story short, they scored all 5, we scored 3 of out 4 and didn't get to take our last one. Their keeper saved Allen's effort, Narces got a second try after his first hit the post since their keeper moved early and Carl and Duane scored theirs. I got a hand to the 4th kick but not enough. Kickers will play Pele Masters in the quarters.
Squad: Kevin, Emman, Carl, Kenton, Maurice, Stav, Roger, Allen, Robbie, Duane, Kendall, Narces, Alex, Marlon, Nedgy
