Division 4 Cup Semi Final: Icon Wanderers 2 v 3 Lion's

Lions starting eleven: Harrison, Lewis, Hill, French, A.Jefferies, Dye, Turkentine, D.Jefferies, Blondell, Potton, Hansen Breachood took the lead from a Hansen corner on the left that was headed into the top corner by Danny Jefferies. Icon's best first half chance was saved a close range Similar to the first goal, Breachwood scored again from a corner that was headed back across goal for Danny Jefferies to head home again into the same top corner as the first goal. Breachwood took a two nil lead into half time. Lion's dominate possesion at the start of the 2nd half. Captain Turkentine was brought down on the edge of the area but the referee waved play on as the Lion's had the advantage with Ollie Potton in possesion who crossed by the line for Simon Blondell to score from close range. For the last twenty minutes Collins and Pearson replaced Hansen and Blondell who both had good performances on the wings. With a three nil lead Breachwood took their eye off the game a little and allowed a good solo goal from an Icon forward to weave into the box and pick out the top corner of the net. The last five minutes became interesting after the Lion's keeper made a bad throw out that went straight to an Icon player, the resulting shot was saved but Icon followed up for 3-2. Breachwood ended 3-2 winners and face Crooked Billet Boro in the Final. Lion's man of the match: Dan Jefferies Subs not used: Griffin, Fildes Thank you to our supporters.
