Last Minute Winner Sees The Sports Through in Senior Cup

Last Minute Winner Sees The Sports Through in Senior Cup image

Ben Watson grabbed a 'time added on' winner in a match that Boro dominated but failed to kill off a game Lewes opposition earlier in the tie.

With Boro fans again in fine voice and after a broadly even first 45 where both sides required last ditch defending and slices of luck to keep the opposition at bay, Matt Crabb opened the scoring on 55 minutes as he smashed home a 25 yard volley, collecting a poor clearance from the Rooks keeper. Paul Booth evened the score five minutes later from the spot. This seemed to spur on The Sports as Watson hit the post and a decent shout for a penalty was turned down by the officials. With extra time beckoning the pressure finally cracked the hosts and Watson smashed home a loose ball inside the 6 yard box to send what appeared to be, but certainly sounded like, approaching 50% of the 600 plus gate home to the Sussex coast in fine mood.
