Missed chances costs us.

Despite dominating for large swathes of this quarter final cup match, Old Parms 6ths suffered their first defeat since the end of September. A slow and sluggish start resulted in the concession of an early goal, nodded in at the back post after a deep corner into the box. From that point on, we did what we have done for the most part of the season, and wrestled control of the match and perhaps should have gone in level. Despite our best efforts we were unable to equalise in the second half, Charlie Heath hitting the post and Tom Mulaney smacking the crossbar with a stupendous long range effort. We conceded a sloppy goal towards the end of game and were finally rewarded with a fine goal of our own, set up superbly by Aaron Spencer who rolled the ball across the box for Charlie to side foot into the empty net. We still had time to put the ball into the net again, but were cruelly denied by the referee, Charlie adjudged to be offside as the ball was played in. Onwards and upwards, next week will be a good test of our mettle and bouncebackability.
