FA Youth Cup report

Dennis North has kindly supplied this brief report of last night’s FA Youth Cup game.

Worthing 1 Woking 4
FA Youth Cup Preliminary Round
7 September 2009

Four goals, three shots off the crossbar, numerous saves from the Worthing keeper, together with another three Woking efforts which went narrowly high or wide, will give some idea of the entertainment on display in this game. Worthing were both competitive and combative but resolute defending provided the foundations for this highly entertaining attacking performance from these Woking youngsters.

Three goals from Ola Sogbanmu and one from Chris Aldridge sealed the team’s passage into the next round, which will be away to either Horsham or Tooting & Mitcham (who are playing this, Tuesday, evening).

Squad: Matt Pegler, Erih Gasasira, Josh Watkins, Conor Close, Aaron Gough, Anson Cousins, Will Hammond, Tom Topham, Ola Sogbanmu, George Frith, Rob Carr.

Subs used: Alfred Ajani, Hugo Sikuade, Chris Aldridge.

Subs not used: Jon Coussens, Ali Turpie
