Crofton Park advanced to the last 16 of the Mary Wiltshire Shield after beating Senior Premier side Baldon Sports 6-4 at home on Sunday!!!.
It wasn't the best of starts as we made two defensive errors which allowed Baldon to score two easy goals in the first 15mins! It looked like we were in for a long afternoon but the side stayed positive & were given a lifeline when Alex converted a free kick just outside the penalty box after being fouled. Shortly after, Serhan went on a typical mazey run, skipping past defenders before slotting past the keeper from a tight angle to make it 2-2. Game on! The tie swung our way as we began to dominate possession, creating chances to try & take the lead. With less than a minute to go before half time, Baldon took the lead against the run of play after a superbly taken free kick.
The second half began in a similar way to the first, with Crofton gifting Baldon another goal to make it 4-2. Heads didn't drop as we had played well & knew that we could still score more goals & that's exactly what happened. We took Baldon apart with some of the best attacking football we've played this season & were rewarded with goals from Alex (2), Andrew & Suley. Zubie also made some crucial saves that could have changed the tie had he conceded.
So, from being 4-2 down, Crofton won the game 6-4 & showed the same sort of spirit that was present when the club won the Junior One Division in 2009/10. Docklands Athletic await us in the next round, a team we know very well from last season.

Team line-up: Zubie; Cem (Chima), Damien, Polat, Selçuk; Serhan, Mus (Koyne), Deray, Andrew; Alex, Suley

Everyone who played deserves to be man of the match after such a great team performance. But a special mention goes to Serhan, Suley, Selçuk & Polat.

In other news, Crofton's postponed fixture against Dockhead on 6th November has been unfairly awarded by the league to Dockhead! This makes a huge difference to the league table & has put a dent in our title ambitions. The decision will be strongly contested by the club.
