What a game for our Over 50s, who traveled to Hove Park in Brighton to play Old Varndenians in the WFA National Cup Regional Semi-final. They came away 3-1 winners in a tough, very competitive match.
The Reds scored first after 5 minutes when Carl Etherington turned smartly and found the net. This spurred OV on, and Dave Bridges turned sharply and scored into the corner, giving Duncan Green no chance, just 10 minutes in. Both teams tried to gain control, and a quick pass from Carl saw Lee Smart rifle his shot into the net at 20 minutes.
In the second half, both teams created chances but couldn't capitalize. Worthing made a change with 8 minutes to go, and a bobbling ball fell kindly to Matthew Pettman, who smashed it home for a 3-1 final score.
Congratulations to the Reds on a great result and advancing to the Regional Final!
