vs Exmouth Town 2nd
Home cup match
Allington started slowly in this game as they struggled to deal with Exmouths energy or show any composure on the ball. Exmouth should have taken the lead in the first minute when they hit the post when it looked easier to score.
Gradually Allington got control of the game with the impressive James Ivatts getting on the ball in midfield and started to create some chances, Josef Sita hitting the woodwork after one good move.
It took a moment of magic to unlock the deadlock when centre back Josh Pascoe who was well inside his own half and probably close to 70 yards out spotted the Exmouth keeper off his line and hit a precision lob over him for an outstanding goal.
1-0 at Half-time.
Second Half and Allington started alot quicker and minutes into it Andy King's run was picked out and he kept his cool to lay the ball across in the box for Andy Davis to side foot home to make it 2-0.
Exmouth didn't let their heads drop and still showed alot of energy and nearly pulled one back but Richard Teague made a good stop.
The game was killed off with an excellent team goal. Rob Tapper won the ball before laying it inside to Davis he fed the ball through into the patch of Si Hannaford who squared the ball to Jamie Batchelor before he found the supporting Josef Sita who showed brilliant composure to finish.
It was Sita who completed the scoring with another composed finish after unselfishly being set up by Hannaford to make it 4-0 and put the home side into the next round of the cup.
Another solid performance from Allington with credit to Exmouth for working their socks off and never giving up.
