Cracking game of cup football.

It's been a bit quite on the Sunday football front for Glen of late, at least in terms of match reports because they've simply been beaten so comprehensively of late that there isn't a great deal to say other than they really do need a decent keeper. Despite the cascade of goals which you can't blame on the keeper, there have been soooooo many they've conceeded looking like a blind man with no hands or sense of direction trying to catch a bar of specially greased soap.

However, the cup has been a different matter. The second round saw Rossgarth take on Weymouth and last week's game ended in a 3 - 3 draw after extra time. The tie swung several times and a draw was definitely a fair outcome. Yesterday brought a replay at Weymouth and a blustery wind on a pitch with a marked slope. They played with that slope to begin with and turned round 2 - 0 up although Rossgarth had a couple of good chances. The second half was a complete reversal with our dodgy keeper totally unoccupied for the entirity but Rossgarth could only score 2 goals leading to extra time once more.

The first period of extra time resulted in Rossgarth playing up the slope and they took the lead after a few minutes, the first time eaither team had scored kicking up the hill and into the wind. That seemed to deflate Weymouth, their heads dropped noticeably and it was no surprise when the game ended in a 5 - 2 victory for Rossgarth which, having been two down, was a fine achievement.

Next week they play the team bottom of the first division for the honour of seeing just who is the worst team. Neither side has a point but Rossgarth have conceeded fewer goals.
