A long long day with a disappointing final result.
A real game of 2 halves. A really bouncy pitch; which locals reckon was the 35th game already played on the surface this season!!
Consequently Bognor struggled to play their normal passing game and resorted to playing the same style as their hosts the long high ball. When we have a side of smaller players against a team of big strong players there was only going to be one result. Truro failed to capitalised on their supperiority and only lead 1.0 at half time and this goal was more down to poor officiating who thought they were in charge of a Cornish Pirates game; and allowed the Bognor player to be manhandled off the ball and go down the other end and score.
Second half Bognor put the pitch out of their mind; asserted their game and put the hosts on the backfoot. Jordy scored a cracking equaliser and Bognor looked the stronger team at the end and the more likely to win. Credit to both keepers who made fine saves to keep the score at 1.1.
So to penalties!!!
1.1; 2.2 up steps Kane and a fine save. Amadou almosts redeems the situation pushing the ball onto the bar but unfortunately bouncing in.
Young Nathan now steps up with the crucial penalty and again a fine save😥😥😥.
A 4.2 defeat on pens; credit to the players that took the kicks but disappointed a few more of the senior players didn't step forward to take one.
Finally credit to the 70+ Bognor fans who made the the trip and formed about 50% of the crowd👏👏👏 well done to everyone.
