FT | PINFOLD PUMAS 1-9 SHAW INN
The lads are through to the next round of the Supplementary Cup after a convincing 9-1 victory over Pinfold Pumas at Carlton Park, with a ruthless second-half performance seeing the lads progress comfortably.
Shaw Inn got off to the worst possible start, finding themselves a goal behind inside the opening minute after failing to deal with an early corner. However, the lads responded brilliantly to the setback and quickly began to take control of the game.
Dylan Soar was the man to turn things around, grabbing a first-half brace to put the Blues 2-1 ahead. From that point onwards, Shaw Inn controlled proceedings, enjoying plenty of possession and putting the Pinfold defence under pressure as we headed into the half-time interval with a slender lead.
The lads came back out firing after the restart, determined to make their dominance count, and it wasn’t long before the goals started flowing.
Lee Parkin was first to get himself on the scoresheet in the second half, producing a lovely finish following some excellent work from Jude Fitzgerald, whose driving run created the opportunity for Lee to make it 3-1.
Dion Travis was next to get in on the action, finishing his chance brilliantly after being played through by Brandon Glaves to extend our advantage to three goals.
The Blues continued to dominate possession and showed no signs of slowing down, moving the ball well and creating chance after chance. Jude Fitzgerald soon got his rewards, grabbing a brace of his own to take the score to 6-1 and put the tie well and truly beyond the hosts.
Brandon Glaves was next on the scoresheet, calmly slotting home to make it seven as the lads continued to pile on the pressure.
There was still plenty of time for more goals, and Marley Whitam was the next man to get himself on the scoresheet, getting on the end of a Brandon Glaves cross to find the back of the net and make it 8-1.
And who else to round off the afternoon but Dylan Soar, Having already bagged twice in the opening half, Dyl completed his hat-trick to put the finishing touches on a fantastic afternoon for the Blues and seal an emphatic 9-1 victory.
Despite the disappointing start, the lads responded brilliantly and controlled the game from then onwards. A much improved second-half performance saw us turn our dominance into goals, with some excellent attacking football and ruthless finishing in front of goal.
Nine goals, six different goalscorers and, most importantly, our place in the next round of the Supplementary Cup secured. A brilliant afternoon’s work from the lads as we return to winning ways in style! 👏🏻
MOM 🏆 - Dylan Soar
Absolutely brilliant from Dyl throughout. Worked tirelessly from the first whistle, brought others into play and caused the Pinfold defence problems all afternoon. Two important first-half goals got us back into the game before he completed his hat-trick to round off a fantastic individual performance. A fully deserved Man of the Match award and a place in the next round of the cup. Well in, Dyl! 👏🏻
Into the next round we go! ❤️
