Misfits
FC and RS Ocean Village went into Game 9 looking
to bounce back from defeats in their previous
fixtures. Group B was so close that it meant a
win here would see the victors go top or at least
share top spot. You would be a brave man to choose
which two teams would qualify for the Cup in this
group at this stage.
In
the first half it was Misfits FC who took the
lead courtesy of their top marksman Thomas Carroll.
They bounced back from opening game defeat to
win their second fixture. Having lost their third
game they were looking like they could do the
same in their fourth game. If they could hold
on to this lead they would qualify for the Cup
if Redhill could win their final game.
RS
Ocean Village FC had other ideas though and staged
a second half revival. First of all Nick Rogerson
put the teams on level terms before Dave Roberts
bagged the winner. It was a great comeback and
a vital comeback as the 3 points moved them onto
7 overall and with that their Cup qualification
was secure.
For
Misfits FC, it was catastrophic as defeat meant
they would now play in the Wooden Spoon competition
– harsh to say the least. At half time they were
sitting in the Cup places and by conceding 2 goals
slipped from 2nd to 5th . To coin a phrase – unbelievable
