Surrey County Cup Final U16

An unprecedented third Surrey County Cup final victory on the trot was not to be as Westfield, within a minute of securing the win, were hit by a very late late equaliser to take the game into extra time and penalties. ‘Field put in a superb display in the first half but paid the price for not making their chances count, they should have seen them at least 3 goals up by half time such was their dominance. An early free kick from Stuart Pain had given ‘Field the lead, they built on that by pinning Ashford back for most of the half, Mike Tasker hit the post and will feel he should have done better and several headed chances should have been converted. The second half was more even but Keeper Billy Inwood who looked dominant throughout was only called upon to make one save ‘Field having a couple of guilt edge chances to strech their lead. The last ten min’s was a different story Ashford went for broke played three up front and pushed ‘Field back, they hit the bar a couple of min’s from time and their chance of victory appeared to have gone. But the next attack saw the ball to break to sub Matt Ahearn his cross shot gave Inwood no chance in the ‘Field goal and forced extra time. The sides could not be seperated in added time so on to penalties. After 5 each the scores were tied on 3 all Ashford taking the cup 6-5 on sudden death
