Eastvale’s visit to Recreation Park for this 2nd Round of The Challenge cup, was a chance to extend our unbeaten run to 10 games. For the first 30 minutes of this match it was an evenly fought encounter with both teams having chances but neither team dominating possession.
All changed soon after, a Eastvale corner was not cleared and found Beau just outside the box, he let loose a screamer into the top corner. A through ball found Willie Kerr racing thro, nice finish to make it 2-0. After some nice footwork by Danny who was challenged but a lucky break of the ball found Jamie who rifled it into roof of the net.
Half Time: Shipyard 0 Eastvale 3
Eastvale continued the second half were they left off, another thro ball found Willie Kerr one on one with the keeper, a cool finish made it 4-0. The fifth came not long after when another thro ball found Danny this time who cooly lobbed the Shipyard keeper. Mike Laing came on for the injured Steven Gardner and did have a very good save late on. Andy Kirk came on for Kenny and wasn’t on long when a 50/50 challenge for the ball with the keeper broke to Andy to round keeper and side foot for the sixth.
The Shipyard pulled a goal back when the Shipyard sub rounded an on rushing Mikey Laing to make it 6-1. In 85 minutes the Shipyard pulled another goal back with an excellent free-kick from 25 yards.
