D3 scrape through to the next round of the SYDNEY BEDLOW CUP.
The game started well with a lot of pressure on the home goal.
1o mins Shane found himself free & nut-megged the from 20 yards out .
10 1/2 mins Allenton tipped off, passed the ball back to centre half who missed the ball, Baz ran on to it and slotted the ball passed the keeper.
D3 should have gone on to win by a hat full, but tried to play the long instead of the passing game they can be so good at. Alan was chasing after lost causes and actually caught a few.
35 mins Allenton right winger broke down our left and crossed, the ball was met on the volley which gave James no chance.
40 mins From an Allenton kick out, DOC headed the ball back into their half where Baz flicked on and Cano got on to it. ran into the box and left footed the ball across the keeper hitting the inside of the right post and in.
There was a two footed tackle on Al, which annoyed him and then in the 43 min. Alan swore and the ref awarded a free on the 1/2 way line. The ball floated into the box and a free header, goal. 2-3 half time.
53 mins a 30yd shot another goal 3 all.
65 min. Kinger got fouled on the right edge of the box, close to the wide line. Al's hits the over the keeper to the back post where J leaps above everyone to head home, back in the lead.
75th minute all square and under pressure. It got to much for Baz who got sent of with 10 minutes remaining for cursing at the Ref (Who by the way had a good game). D3 held on till full time. During the 2nd half Shane & Vinny where taken off, both with muscle problems. Robbie went to left full, Aido to centre half, & DOC took centre midfield role.
D3 were pinned back for the first half of extra time, but held out.
1/2 time E.T. Steve came on for Tom. D3 started to play in Allenton's half. This put pressure on their defence and goal. 5 minutes left, the ball gets kicked forward. Steve using his new found speed got to the ball first, holding of 3 defenders he laid the ball back to DOC, who crossed first time into the box where Kinger rose above the keeper to flick the ball into the top right hand corner. D3 Held out this time to progress to the 2nd round where they will have to be more disciplined if they are to make an impact in this cup.
