       Sarnians 4-0 Nikara Dragons
       Well having gone 2-0 up in 3 minutes this was a regulation win
       and performance to boot, we saunter into the third round/quarter
       final which is a welcome boost for the fans.
       We will be keeping a close eye on the draw!
       Oh and Ady (not for sale) Sanders was man of the match

       All in an Honest days work
       Wolves 2 Helsinki 5
       A commanding performance from the unseeded last 16 side who
       played away from home. It was honest-ly a very comfortable
       victory which will give the team confidence as we move towards
       the second half of the season.
       Honest got the show on the road in the 16th minute with a fine
       strike. Despite being pegged back immediately, goals from Evans
       and Hont put the away side in command by half time. Impressive
       youngster Harrisjones added a 4th before Daniel Mason himself
       got a consolation goal which only angered Prittwick into scoring
       a second.
       The man of the match was honest-lay a foregone conclusion. Guam
       Honest romped away with it with 2 assists and a goal. He’s some
       player that lad.
       Onto the next round where we hope for a home tie at our newly
       reopened 50,000 seater stadium

       Golden Eagles FC hit Pomey Chimes for 6 in a EA Cup 2nd round 9
       goal thriller. Although Eagles had the slightly stronger team on
       paper, Pompey were boosted by a boisterous home crowd. The 3-6
       score line was maybe a little harsh on the home side, both sides
       had 8 shots on target, the keepers were certainly difference
       makers today.
       The away side were the first out of the blocks in the 5th
       minute, with Jans Goisthalt's sweet half-volley to make it 1-0.
       Pompey were quickly on level terms though, through Merryfield
       barely a minute later. Eagles were then back in front in the 9th
       minute, Atrem Poltorak's cross was met by Pavel Chernyshev's
       left foot and the Russian smashed the ball home to make it 2-1.
       The action was end to end, as McGloughlin found Merryfield and
       the Scot equalised for his team again in the 24th minute. The
       goals kept coming, as at the other end captain Domenic Torcaso
       scored his first goal of the season just after Eagles kick-off,
       3-2! Goisthalt then made it 4-2 in the 37th minute, as Eagles
       began to turn the screws on their opponents.
       After a breathless first half, in which they trailed 2-4, Pompey
       really needed life line and that was provided by Anderton 2
       minutes after the restart. Kamil Uzbaezanov thought he had done
       enough, clearing the ball off the line, but the ref judged it to
       have gone over! The home side were back in it.
       That was until the 59th minute, when Glen Johnson's back pass
       rolled past the hapless David James after he slipped over!
       Chernyshev then put the game out of reach on the hour mark with
       his 2nd and Eagles' 6th of the game. After that, they pretty
       much shut the door on Pompey as they threw everything at the
       Eagles defence, but could not find back of the net again. The
       game finished 6-3 to the away side, with Pavel Chernyshev and
       Jans Goisthalt, along with keeper Kamil Uzbaezanov putting in
       great performances. Danik Marashko also had another good game,
       while Andre's Limt had a decent outing in midfield, while
       Alessio Kovacic was fairly quite as Pompey had him well marked.
       Dave Rosewell's worries about picking up too many bookings
       proved to unfounded, as only Taavi Ruusumäki went in the ref's
       book for body checking Andre Lopez.
       "I think this was the kind of game that the neutral would love
       to watch, with the end to end action and goals galore. Pompey
       were certainly a tough opposition, but we held our ground,
       stayed focused and kept our noses clean. We are keen to see who
       we'll face in the next round."

       WILLIAM_JONES 2,
       og
       What a night for the neutral fan, six goals, extra-time and a
       sudden death penalty shoot out that went to penalty number 14.
       the game started bad for us as we went behind in the seventh
       minute but where able to pull it back to level you devils, two
       minutes later, when William Jones delicately headed the ball
       home from close range. acorns went into half time with a 2-1
       lead thanks to Popolov scoring roughly six minutes before the
       break.
       William Jones was having a good game, one of his better games of
       the season so far and drew us back level again on 51st minute
       when he chipped the keeper and we went on to take the lead for
       the first time two minutes later when the defender miskicked the
       ball and it flew into his own goal but that didn't last that
       long as Acorn drew all square on the 64th minute/
       From then on the game became like a basketball match, your turn,
       no my turn back and fourth but with no net being hit at all and
       the game went to penalties after 120 pulsating minutes.
       Its like they say there are really no ready made heroes in
       penalties, just one keeper is going make the save or some poor
       sucker is going sky the ball thinking hes good enough to put the
       ball in the top corner. Well lucky for us, on loan Okuninushi
       was the hero today saving two of the seven penalties he faced.
       Just like its been all season we are doing well in the cups and
       trash in the league, we got to get the monkey of our back in the
       league and improve there.[/font]

       [font=comic sans ms]            Kyushu Yakuza 4 - 2 AFC Coventry
       Caoimhin_Og, Jack_Groves 2,
       D_SZOBOSZLAI
       You know sometimes you shouldn't open your big mouth, we went
       into this game very confident it would be a walk in the park but
       oh my god did Coventry give us more of a game than was expected.
       After the last match our strike team got a right rollicking and
       it looked like it hit its mark when Jack Groves put Caoihmin Og
       through and with just one thing on his mind he powered home his
       shot and that was just on the third minute. HIs  strike partner
       was to get in on the act just before the 30 minute mar k when he
       was put through by the impressive Leda Cygnus and rifled home
       into top bins, all's well on the western front as we where
       pushing along as we expected, but in the space at seven minutes
       it looked like the site of a natural disaster as we went from
       cruising the game to being all square and half time did not come
       at any better a time for Yakuza.
       For the second time in a matter of days the team got told the
       riot act and torn apart verbally, and the same eleven wher put
       out to rectify there mistakes. It took only four minutes for
       things to right themselves when Jack Groves grabbed his second
       of the match when he latched on to a ricochet of a defender and
       slotted home to restore our lead. SZOBOSZLAI  stretched the
       league on the hour with a devasting strike and the boys held
       that lead to final whistle. Fair play to Coventry they gave us a
       game and we where sweating for minute but all's good and now we
       need go and try iron out the errors.[/font]
