Avonmouth Youth 3 vs 1 AEK BOCO

<p> Avonmouth V AEK BOCO &nbsp; <p align="justify">Again today, Avonmouth could forget about the league as they welcomed another division 2 team, AEK BOCO, for a GFA Cup match. BOCO, like last weeks opponents Keynsham, have had a great start to the season, winning 4 matches out of 4 so far &amp; also knocked out division 1 St Aldhelms in the AYL Cup last week. They are another team who we have had great clashes with in the past &amp; so a hard game was to be expected.&nbsp; &nbsp; <p align="justify">BOCO started on the front foot &amp; after seeing a shot hit the Avonmouth post they deservedly took the lead after 10 minutes. They had forced a corner &amp; from the resultant kick one of their players headed the ball into the net. The following 15 minutes became a midfield battle but as the game wore on Avonmouth began to get on top, although no clear-cut chances were created.&nbsp; It appeared BOCO were going to go in at half time with a lead but 2 minutes into injury time the home team forged an equaliser. Mitch Harris gathered the ball on the right hand side &amp; after beating a couple of defenders, rifled his shot high into the net giving the keeper no chance.&nbsp; <p>Half time: Avonmouth 1 AEK BOCO 1 <p align="justify">&nbsp;Avonmouth started the second half with more purpose &amp; it was not long before they had a great chance to go ahead. Jordan Bishop won the ball on the left &amp; following a run into the penalty box put a superb ball low into the six-yard area. However, with the goal at his mercy Sam Eastwood somehow managed to put the ball over the crossbar. Shortly afterwards, following a good run on the right, James Skelton put another great pass into the penalty area but Bishop &amp; Luke French between them missed the opportunity to score. Avonmouth were now on top but BOCO from 2 corners came close to taking the lead. From the first, a BOCO player got to the ball but saw his header cleared off the line near the post by Aaron Davies. Then from another corner, a BOCO player saw his looping header cleared off the line, this time by Jack Hewlett. Despite these chances Avonmouth looked the more dangerous &amp; with 6 minutes left eventually took the lead. Harris had been a constant threat &amp; following an intricate ball into the box by Alex Wilkins he found himself with only the keeper to beat. Harris shot at goal and despite a great attempt by the goalie, the ball ended up in the back of the net. Avonmouth were able to see out the remaining minutes &amp; then, again in injury time following a neat flick by Montel Riches, Harris made the game safe by slotting the ball past the keeper into the net for his hat-trick. &nbsp; <p align="justify">For the second week in a row Avonmouth have left it late to secure a win in a cup competition. Although again not at their best, we did enough to earn the victory &amp; again have shown that if we go behind, there is enough spirit &amp; will to come back &amp; win the game.&nbsp; Next week we are back in league action against our old rivals Coalpit Heath. &nbsp; <p>Full Time: Avonmouth 3 AEK BOCO 1&nbsp; &nbsp; <p>&nbsp;
