From the touchline:
BARRELL PUTS HILL IN FINAL
Winchmore Hill 1 Old Owens 0
AFA Senior Cup - Semi Final
(at Old Parkonians F.C.)
Saturday 6 March
An extra time header from Andy Barrell, following
good work down the left flank beginning with Mattie
Knights and ending in Aby Seymour's cross, set up a
mouth-watering final against Nottsborough on 10th
April.
The game began with Owens flexing their muscles as
they charged into the Hill, seeking to upset the
rhythm. The Hill kept their nerve, shape and their
attitude, despite some hard challenges that led to a
series of free kicks for the Hill and an early
yellow card for Old Owens.
Once the early exchanges calmed the Hill took
control of the midfield with Martin Brannigan
dominating the central area. With the pace of the
wide men, Hugo De Jesus and Aby Seymour the Hill
pressed forward and created chances. The best chance
came on the half-hour when De Jesus burst through
and was brought down inside the area. Up stepped top
goalscorer, Andy Barrell to take the kick, but his
weak effort was comfortably saved by the Owens
keeper, guessing correctly, diving to his left.
More chances came with all the pressure on the
defenders of Old Owens, but nothing was converted
and the teams went in at the interval with no goals
to show.
With the wind now behind them, Owens pressed forward
and Andrew Carter made a good save from a shot from
close range. The inswinging crosses were dealt with
capably and the Hill began to take control.
Knights was having an excellent game, winning the
majority of his challenges and distributing the ball
well through the midfield. Rod Beya was also having
a fine game, holding the ball well and putting
telling through balls to the wide men on the wings.
Still nothing to separated the teams coming towards
the end of the ninety minutes. Ben Head replaced
Stuart Broad who had played well and the final ten
minutes was all Winchmore Hill. Owens keeper was
forced to make several telling saves to keep his
side in the match. Winchmore Hill hit the post from
an Andy Barrell free kick and in the dying seconds
of the game it was hard to fathom why the ball
didn't cross the line from Barrell's effort. Beya
just couldn't get a touch and it was cleared to
safety.
The Hill had a scare early in the first period of
extra time when the ball struck the top of their
crossbar, bouncing back into play; but there was my
'Man of the Match', Mattie Knights, to clear the
ball. Shortly after this came the Barrell goal to
give the Hill a well deserved lead at the half-way
stage of extra time.
The second period of extra time saw the Hill with a
great deal of possession, holding the ball well and
running down the clock. This clearly frustrated some
of the Old Owens team, leading to a few nasty
challenges, heated words and yellow cards. With two
minutes remaining Owens were reduced to ten men and
for the remainder of time the Hill held their
discipline, held the ball and put themselves into
the final of the biggest trophy in 'Pay to Play'
(Amateur) football.
In the other semi final between Broomfield and
Nottsborough, The Brooms swept into a 3 - 1 lead but
Nottsborough pulled it back to 3 - 3 with the last
kick of the match. During extra time Nottsborough
lost a man to serious injury which held up play for
twenty minutes pending the arrival of an ambulance.
Having used all their substitutes they were forced
to play the majority of extra time with ten men.
Nottsborough took a 4 - 3 lead only to be pegged
back to 4 - 4 but a late goal put the holders back
on track in their attempt to retain the trophy.
It should be a fine game on 10th April between two
sides that can play attractive football.
