County Cup semi-final
Sunday 11 am
Bankfoot Cricket Club
A fast start from both teams and 30 seconds in Oakenshaw open the scoring, number 8 into the bottom right corner. 2-0 Oakenshaw, number 7 into the roof of the net, around 10 mins into the game now. Scrappy end to the end of the first period with not many chances.
Half time 2-0, Oakenshaw all over Bradford Moor, who can’t seem to settle on the ball. Oaky got a yellow for a potential red for a follow-through, correct decision, wasn’t two-footed and a full-blooded challenge.
2-1 Bradford Moor goal, early in the second half, the ball comes into the box, and number 4 bundles it in. Goal has rejuvenated Bradford Moor and they’re playing well. 2-2 Bradford Moor equalise, number 4 has his second goal of the game. Scrappy in the box again but Bradford Moor won’t care.
3-2 Bradford Moor, 20 yards out and number 8 beats the keeper, who won’t be happy with that, didn’t get down quickly enough. Games turned on its head since HT.
3-3, Oakenshaw number 14 bundles it in from a yard out from a set piece. Anyone's game this. Oakenshaw miss a sitter from a few yards out from number 7, still 3-3.
4-3, Oakenshaw goal, number 8 lashes it in after Bradford Moor clear it. Could be the winner that. Scenes as all the subs run onto the field to celebrate with the team.
5-3 Oakenshaw, surely that’s the game, as number 17 bundles in a cross. Subs are on again, can see what it means to the club.
Still 5-3 Bradford Moor, number 10 has an effort from 20 yards out, just over the bar. Screams of take it to the corner from Oakenshaw whenever the ball goes forward.
Full-time 5-3 full-blooded game that Oakenshaw deserved to win, other than a 20-minute blip in the second half, they were in charge.
Oakenshaw into the County Cup final. The winner of Wykebeck Arms and New Inn awaits and they play next week.
