SALTBOX SEMI SORROWS

Sunday saw the end of Saltbox FCs season as we dumped them out of the Cannon Francis cup semi final,3-1 ,this coming two weeks after we stopped them from winning the league by the same score.It was an ill tempered game ,with some of the Saltbox players wound up and being over aggresive,if not for the weak refereeing , 2 or 3 of them should have taken the early bath ,as it happened it was only 1, [ it was 2 of them in the last game ]. J Mcshane got the first goal with a lovely glancing header at the near post ,it stayed 1-0 till the half .The second half started as the first finished with the Lions hammering at there goal but nothing would go in ,after 15 mins a Saltbox player delibratley handled in the box and a pen was awarded, up stepped Karl Sid who cooly buried the ball in the top of the net 2-0 .The game went dead after this with the Lions seeming to go to sleep ,untill Saltbox made a rare attack ,a shot from J Rainford hit a Lion player on the hand and they got a pen which they scored 2-1,this woke the lads up and they went on the rampage hitting the post twice in 5 mins until Maca slotted another one ,3-1 A couple of the Salty players lost the plot at this and 1 of them was sent of .the game finished 3-1.
We will be playing Seaburn in the final ,date to be confirmed
