Notts Senior League
Junior Cup
First Round
BARROWBY FC 0 SOUTHWELL CITY RESERVES 0
1-1 after extra time
Barrowby FC win 3-1 after penalties
After the very long journey back from my holiday in Cornwall, we headed to Barrowby FC to watch the first round tie of the Notts Senior League Junior Cup. Barrowby are in Division Two whilst their opponents are in the Division above. Barrowby were sitting towards the bottom of the Division still searching for their first win, whilst Southwell Reserves were near the foot of Division One.
The game kicked off and the tempo was quite quick and a few tackles were to the dislike of the match referee who had cautioned 3 players in the first 13 minutes. Both sides seemed to be cancelling each other out and moves kept breaking down.
After 40 minutes, Barrowby were reduced to ten men as a player was sent to the sin bin, but the game got harder for the homesters when Leigh Radford saw his second yellow card of the game,so at half time Barrowby were down to nine players on the pitch.
The Second Half kicked off and it was now 9 v 10 as a Southwell player was sent to the sin bin and just it got back to 10 a side, the visitors were back to the full 11. On 70 minutes, it became 10 v 10, as Ed Clarke picked up 2 very quick yellow cards.
The game went in to extra time and Barrowby though they had opened the scoring but it was wiped out for offside. Barrowby began to look the better of the two sides in the First period of extra time and just before half time, they got a free kick around 35 yards out, which ROBERT LEE fired home.
No one hhad time to breathe, as straight from kick off, Southwell pushed forward and a cross from the right was turned home for the equaliser by LIAM WILKINSON to take the game to penalties.
The hero of the penalties was Chris Clarke who saved 3 of the 4 Southwell penalties to send his Barrowby side through to Round Two
