  1. Hawkislava 2-2 Willems nation (2-3 AET)

    Hawkislava '14 '56

    Willems nation '50 '60 '100

    A brace from Nick Walker-Roberts and an extra time winner from substitute James Brijin put Willem's Nation through to the final eight of the competition. Coming up against similar rated opposition, Hawkislava, was definitely a test for the national side.

    Going into the break at 1-0 down put the pressure on Michael Banter's half time team talk, but with just 5 minutes of the second half passed, the most exciting 10 minutes of the game would start. Binto Finto played Nick Walker-Roberts through and with his pace he was away for a one on one which he cooly finished. Hawkislava responded with a goal of their own, benefiting from a Gravesly slip courtesy of the now wearing pitch deep into the January/February competition.

    Willem's Nation pulled level quickly with another Walker-Roberts goal, this time finishing off a beautiful move involving Chamachachi, Chuckie and Bro's brilliant build up play. The final half an hour was a nervy affair with both teams holding strong and giving up no decent chances.

    In extra time, Michael Banter made some whole-sale changes, bringing Garn, Brijin and Gandalf on for Finto, Chuckie and Walker-Roberts who seemed to be suffering from cramp. This seemed to spark some more life into the team. Hampshire pair Garn and Gandalf controlled the centre of midfield and in the 100th minute the pressure turned into a corner. Bro whipped it in from the left hand side for Brijin to pull off an amazing volley from the edge of the penalty box.

    Michael Banter said he was pleased with the way his team played and is looking forward to moving forward to the next stage.

    OOC: NEW PIP :D

  2. Fine, I call Willems Nations uhh...

    * Arcadian refers to guide

    substituting, timewasting, injury-prone, and the rest.

    So I take it my team equalised in the stoppage time :P

    Also I find it funny that it was 3-3 in extra time. Would have been a right ol' good match to watch, lucky Andrew Walker-Roberts took goal in the penalty shoot out. He was rumoured to be injured pre-match. He pulled of two mighty fine saves as well :D
