Harvest Church 1 Square FC 2

Saturday 27th January 2007

Cup Quarter Final

Harvest Church belied their lowly league position as they made Square fight for the narrow victory that allowed them to progress into the semi final of the cup.

Square’s first half performance was somewhat subdued and Harvest Church seemed the more determined of the two sides and always carried a threat. Although they never really got going, Square did take the lead with a goal from Matthew. However Harvest Church kept battling away and Square were grateful that Andy Kight and Ben Keble were able to keep the Harvest threat at bay.

Square struck early in the second half, again through Matthew, and it looked, at that point, as if Square would complete a comfortable victory. This was far from the case as Harvest Church fought back and they scored a goal that their performance thoroughly deserved. However Square did enough to progress to the next round.

Goalscorers:

Matthew Kimani (2).

Man of the Match:

Ben Keble – another excellent performance.

Summary:
A strangely, in and out performance from Square. I will put it down to the pitch, which did not suit Square’s passing game, and the fact that it was their first game since the Christmas break. However, despite the above, Square did create more scoring opportunities than their opponents but it will require a much improved performance when we meet Hightown next week.

Squad:
Andy Kight
Jack Firth
Mark Chalkley
Ben Keble
Darren Custance
