Reserves reach Semi-Final
AFC Burton 1 Sway Reserves 3
M.A. Hart Poole Bay Cup
Saturday 14th January 2017
Sway Reserves overcame Premier League opposition to book a place in the semi-finals of the Poole Bay Cup at home to Parley Sports.
With three players dropping out in the morning, and one player injured in the warm up, things looked difficult at the start of the match. But they soon got better when we scored after just five minutes when Dan Marks volleyed home from a Ryan Sheppard corner. 15 minutes later we were 2-0 up when top score, Nick Broom, reacted quickly after a keeper fumble. The home side got a goal back just before half time.
Sway dominated the second half and were solid at the back thanks to skipper Lee Gilbert and Sheppard in defence. Fifteen minutes from the end Broom got a second and put the game to bed.
Manager James Crouch said after the game that he couldn't be more delighted with his team who all dug in and showed real team spirit!
Sway Reserves: Paul Jordan, Harry Boyt, Nick Broom, Jake Fields, Chris Forbes, Lee Gilbert, Dan Marks, Liam Miller, Ryan Sheppard, Bill Stride, Michael Tang, Substitutes: Ryan Anderson, Luke Lewis.
