Mangotsfield -v- North Leigh

[Rother]

Nothing to do with us but as nothing much is happening on the forum these days (where HAS everyone gone?) thought I'd post it up as an interesting / entertaining little bit of news.

 

In the game at Mangotsfield on Saturday the final score was the same as it was after 10 minutes - nothing particularly unusual you might think, but the scoreline after 10 minutes was 3-3!!!

 

Mangotsfield scored on 3,4 & 9 minutes, and North Leight scored on 7,8 & 10.

 

Have we ever had any similar goal deluges at W&E?

Two incidents spring to mind, both at the end of the match, one for and on against. First against Woking in the FA Cup when we were the bigger side, 3-0 up with nine minutes to go, let in 3 in normal time and lost 6-3 in extra time, but more impressively 4-1 down to Folkestone Invicta with 11 minutes to go and won 5-4 in normal time, then bet a hasty retreat as 200 angry dockers expressed their feelings at the quality of refereeing and their team's performance. Highlight being Kevin Hill, dragged out of retirement, scoring to secure a magical night in a cup replay!!!

Cheers Fuzzy. Postie has certainly told me about the Woking game before now I come to think about it!

Thing is, that game would never have happend had Kevin Mitchell not saved a penalty in the 90th minute at home on the Saturday at 1-1, then we wouldn't have had the indiginty of losing a 3 goal lead in the replay. he took Biggins off at 3-0 and the team fell apart. Did the same thing a week or so later when we were 2-0 up in a league game and we lost 3-2. Some managers never learn......
