We scored first on a great effort by Danny who beat his defender down the left side and then megged Burnro. CIC almost evened it up shortly after our goal when he ripped a shot from well out that hit the post. They did tie it up though, just before the half off a free kick, 1 - 1 at the half.
It seemed like the game was heading for the draw column, both teams were getting chances but couldn't score. Burnro made the save of his life midway through the half off a header. We got the winner however, with about 5 minutes left when Rota cranked a shot from about 25 yards out that found the top corner, Burnro had no chance. After that we just humped the ball into the corners and hung on for the win.
Always feels good beating the dreaded Hoops

A very fair summation of the game Mackers, very accurate. Regardless of the result, the game was extremely enjoyable with loads of action around both nets, evenly complimented by the verbal action from both sidelines. It was a good night for both clubs as cooler heads did prevail following the unfortunate events of the previous weeks matchup of the Div. 2 squads. Those events did contribute to this game having loads of feeling and passion on the pitch, but only in a positive manner. With the exception of a couple of skirmishes near the end of the match, both clubs will hopefully come out of this match with a greater respect for one another.
Hats off to the Idiots for a great match, especially to Rota for scoring the goal of his life for the winner!
Cheers,
Burnro
