North West Durham County FA Cup yesterday saw two sides in us and Ouston go for it and put on a show for the neutrals.
We started fast and Lewis Martin planted one in off a corner then Joe Wilson found space to lash into the top corner saw us 2 up in no time. Ouston got a penalty back then a great ball in was tapped in at the back post to level up. The lads gathered themselves and Lewis Martin ran amock scoring his 2nd and 3rd before half time to make it 4-2.
An enforced change midway through the first half then two more before the hour mark made our lives difficult but take nothing away from Ouston who were the better side in the 2nd half and got their 3rd from a long ball and 4th from the penalty spot again. We cleared off the line and they struck the bar in the final throws while Reece Michael Barras and the substituted substitute Kieran Harnett passed one back in a great position. Full time 4-4
Penalties followed. Lewis Martin, Kieron Richardson, Kieran Harnett, Stu Camma Hackett all buried theirs, then Luke Thompson saved their 5th for Matthew Agar to win the cup.
Another trophy for Casper's bar, been hard work these past few months and fitness and availability was a struggle last night too so makes success a bit sweeter. Fair play to Ouston as well, top lads and club.
