<p>After disappointing results in March, Real B secured great morale boosting result in the Supplementary Cup against a team in the division above. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" />Real went into the clear intent of attacking at every opportunity and for long periods of the game were in control. The result never really looked in doubt and when Mike Parkes touch in an edge of the box scramble somehow fell to Nik Deeming he made no mistake to give Real a 1-0 lead going into the break. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" />In the opening minutes of the second half the opposition applied a period of pressure and were rewarded with a penalty when Steven Murray brought down on of the Wanderers' pacy forwards. The penalty was well dispatched to level the scores. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" />Real though never panicked and continued to attack and when Christian despite being fouled in the box found Danny Galante, he finished expertly to restore Real's lead as the excellent referee allowed the advantage.<br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" />After a neat exchange between Christian and Stephen Cargill, super-sub John Hodges put the game beyond the visitors within a minute of coming on and with probably his first touch of the ball. <br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" /><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 13px; text-align: left;" />The positive attitude, work-rate and the general play was much improved and a well deserved result to match the performance after a difficult few weeks.
