The game started off evenly matched. After 15mins a ball over the top was misjudged by Owen Kabodi and whilst trying to shield it out had it poked away from him and Corinthians were through on goal. Our defence had to shuffle over to close the ball down, it was then squared across the box and passed into the goal. Crockenhill FC93 then started to play some good football before a similar mistake was made by Gary Beckett which thankfully didn't result in a goal!
Crockenhill FC93 dominated the rest of the half playing some very good football! A good move down the right hand side ended with Jamal Hackett being played in one on one with the keeper but he dragged his shot wide. Jamal Hackett nearly scored again 10mins later with the keeper getting a slight touch on the ball to tip it away from his head preventing him from heading into an empty net. Putting more pressure on a chance came to Sam Cannon when the ball dropped to him inside the box but he scuffed his shot wide. Another two or three chances were created but not converted leaving the score 1 – 0 at half time. After 10mins of the second half we switched off at the back, a ball was slipped into a gap left in the back 4 and the ball was tucked into the corner giving Mikey Hunter no chance.
Paul Daniel Soussou was tripped and brought down a yard into the Corinthian box, The ref gave a free kick on the edge even though this happened right in front of him. Reeaz Colley whipped a good free kick over the wall that was tipped over by the keeper. Paul Daniel Soussou turned and smashed a shot that was tipped onto the post and went out for a corner. Paul Daniel Soussou had another chance inside the box to the left of the goal and hit the side netting. Sam Cannon had a good chance near the end with a free header in front of goal but couldn't direct his header.

The final score was 2 -0 with us having missed at least 6 good goal scoring opportunities!!
