<p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Maidenhead Crown FC 10 &ndash; 1 Slough Eagles F.C. / Sunday Morning Thames Valley Football League Roy Lester Cup Round 2 <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Back in cup action after our good win in the league last week, and this time we entertained DIV 5 Slough Eagles FC. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">In truth this was never a contest, and the scoreline should have read more goals for us but as it proves so often when you play teams a couple of divisions below you, you tend to play within yourself a bit. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">The away team came into the game with no league wins to their name and rock bottom of div 5, we however, were on our best run of the season. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">The different level in class showed immediately, when we scored the quickest goal of the season. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Only 30 seconds on the clock, when the ball was swung to the back post where KENNY EATON finished well for 1-0. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Captain JAMES MURDOCH soon put us 2-0 with a good run and finish. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">KENNY EATON scored his second to put us 3-0 up. A superb run and a fantastic powerful finish into the bottom corner. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Then it was the turn of our in-form forward STEVEN EATON to score from the penalty spot to make it 4-0. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Sadly we then stopped playing our game and took the opposition to lightly, and in return they scored with about 5 mnts to play until halftime. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Halftime Score 4-1. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">The message for the second half was to treat this as a cup final and to show respect to the opposition. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Shortly after the break STEVEN EATON made it 5-1 with his second of the match. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">STEVEN EATON scored again to make it 6-1. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Then STEVEN EATON scored his 4th of the match with a good finish to make it 7-1. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">By this stage the opposition couldn&rsquo;t wait for the final whistle to come. It was the most one sided match I have been involved in for a very long time. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">ALAN BURTON ran through and finished well to make the score 8-1. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">After squandering many chances, MATTHEW HILLIER finally took one of his chances to make the score 9-1. An off day for the speedy winger who normally finishes well. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">The final goal came from the MAN OF THE MATCH, KENNY EATON rounded off a superb display to score his 3rd and our 10th to make the score 10-1. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Credit to the opposition who did show belief and carried on trying to play till the end. But this was a superb day for us, no injuries, plenty of goals and we are into the next round of the cup. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #222222;">Our attentions now turn to a huge game in the league when we welcome 3rd placed JOHN 86 FC to Desborough Park this weekend. A crucial game for both teams and hopefully we can come out on top.
