<p>After disappointing results in March, Real B secured great morale boosting result in the Supplementary Cup against a team in the division above.&nbsp;<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&nbsp;Mike Parkes&nbsp;touch in an edge of the box scramble somehow fell to&nbsp;Nik Deeming&nbsp;he made no mistake to give Real a 1-0 lead going into the break.&nbsp;<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&nbsp;Steven Murray&nbsp;brought down on of the Wanderers' pacy forwards. The penalty was well dispatched to level the scores.&nbsp;<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&nbsp;Christian&nbsp;despite being fouled in the box found&nbsp;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&nbsp;Stephen Cargill, super-sub&nbsp;John Hodges&nbsp;put the game beyond the visitors within a minute of coming on and with probably his first touch of the ball.&nbsp;<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.
