<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">MAIDENHEAD CROWN FC 2 &ndash; 3 ETON RIFLES / SUNDAY MORNING MARY WELLS CUP

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We were in cup action again last Sunday, this time the opposition were ETON RIFLES from DIV 1 at home.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Despite the opposition having a poor start to their league campaign, we new that playing a team for any divisions above would prove to be tricky.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We dominated the play and had a good few opportunaties which sadly were not taken....

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Yet again this cost us dearly, the opposition scored 3 quick goals with out reply and at the 35 mnt stage of the game we somehow found ourselves 0-3 down.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We did carry on pilling the pressure on and were rewarded 5 mnts before the break.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">On his debut, PAUL NEWPORT, rose highest to score an unstoppable header from a MATTHEW HILLIER corner. That was the least we deserved by that point.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Halftime score was 1-3.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In recent games we knew we performed better in the second half, and that's exactly what we did.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Great pressure resulted in MATTHEW HILLIER beating 2 men and firing a superb long range effort to make it 2-3. This after around 65 mnts played.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The opposition couldn't really get out there half for 30 mnts but sadly the goal would not come for us.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The best chance coming to CONOR HAYNES but sadly he blazed over with a few mnts to play.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This weeks game doesn't come much bigger, we have a local derby in the cup at home against MAIDENHEAD NOMADS RESERVES.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We share the same park and changing rooms all season so this promises to be a cracker.

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<p style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Its a shame we could go into this game with a win, but roll on this Sunday.
