East Grinstead 2 v 5 Bognor Regis Town

[cityboy]

A superb first half display blew the hosts away and ruled out any chance of a cup shock
Goals by Jordy;2 from Nathan and one from Charlie Bell gave Bognor a 4.0 halftime lead and but for the home keeper vould well of been 6 or 7.
A series of 2nd half substitutions and with Bognor easing their foot off the throttle allowed East Grinstead to pull 2 goals back. A late strike from Kane D-R restored a 3 goal lead and ease Bognor into the next round. Credit to the hosts who never stopped trying.
This Saturday Bognor return to the league with a difficult trip to Margate.

That must have been hard work for the team after the weekends trip to and fro to Plymouth and only the one day in between before the East Grinstead game.
I wonder what the fancy pants prima donnas would have said if that was expected of them.
What time did the coach arrive back from Plymouth?
Good luck on Saturday Rocks.

10.30 pm on Sunday night, followed by two days at work.

A top effort from the players.

Got to agree with the post about travel. To have to go to Plymouth on a Sunday and return so late with work next morning and then play again on Tuesday night and not lose either in 90 mins says how resilient our lads are. Really good effort that was and you hear the Prem clubs moaning.
