***Lancing (Sussex Senior Cup) Official Matchday Thread***

let's do an England and smash them 10-0!

On second thoughts a 1-0 win would be an achievement given our dreadful cup results.

Be very interesting to see what kind of team is put out for this game, can imagine RGC will make an appearance as he needs to build up match fitness, as well as Matthews. I wonder if players from the Foundation Academy would be allowed to play in this game or does it have to be registered members of the first team squad?

Must admit the way the PA guy pronounced some of our player's names was pretty funny

Crawley  3-0 Tilley  (47 mins)

Crawley  4-0  Battle  (67 mins)

Crawley  4-1  (76 mins)

Crawley  5-1  Tilley  (83  mins)

Crawley  6-1  McNulty  (90 mins)  (scores with the outside of his boot from Halfway line)



FT  :   6-1  

In the hat for the next round. That's the main thing.

What did you think of the game if you were there?

Hessenthaler scored a great goal from around 25 yards out to open the scoring, then Battle finished one off after a poor clearance from the goalie (who despite this I though was decent and could easily play for a team like Worthing or Bognor Regis)

Tilley then scored with two great efforts either side of another Battle finish, Lancing's goal came from the usual defensive mix up as we didn't clear the ball away when we should have. Bansul-McNulty then scored from the halfway line with literally the last kick of the match, that moment I thought was worth the admission fee alone

Not too much to read into it considering the limited standard of opposition but hopefully it would have done something positive to one or two players' confidence leading into Saturday's match, think the scoreline was probably equivalent to getting a par in golf in terms of achievement. I'm hoping we get Chichester away next in the Sussex cup just because that was where I used to go to university
