Scorers - O'Neill

Just one of those morning for Milanda where lady luck slept in. Milanda started badly and didn't really turn up for the first 30 mins and from almost their only 2 attacks CS found themselves 2 up. Milanda rallied as the half finished but the CS keeper was in inspired form.

The second half was all Milanda but they were caught cold ont he counter attack and found themselves 3 down. Eventually Dave O'Neill pulled one back as Milanda threw everything at CS. Coyle had 3 attempts cleared off the line, balls were hitting defenders and being deflected out or over the bar. The CS keeper continued to make excellent saves and some he kept out he didn't even know about. The final and killer goal was another breakaway from CS and Milanda had to finally admit it wasn't going to be their morning. A couple of CS players admitted they were slightly embarrassed by the scoreline as they had almost scored with all their chances. If Milanda had converted even a third of theirs they would have been comfortable winners.

MOTM - Plenty of effort and huff and puff with little reward. Can't really remember anyone standing out.
