Well the league season eventually comes to an end. Following on from a excellent performance midweek v Brighton , a patched up team to the field and produced another fine performance.
Folkestone started off fast and had a lot of the early play.
The Bognor defence held firm under any pressure, Black and Robson were superb down the middle, whilst Rabbetts and Dockerillexcelled out wide.As the game progressed Bognor grew into the game, Gifford and Odonkonyero started creating space whilst the midfield od Macca, Bridgman and St De Croix probed away.
A uperb counter attack produced a goal for Bognor , which was unfortunately disallowed on a tight offside decision. Bognor eventually took the lead on 45 minutes when Rowley picked out Bridgman on the wing, his speed and a quick one two saw Alfie slot home to give the Rocks a half time lead.
2nd half Folkestonehuffed and puffed but to little effect, and when they did break down the defnce Rowley was more than equal.
With the game and the league season fizzling out, on 90 minutes Macca slotted home to give Bogor a healthy victory in what was very much a end of season game between two mid table teams !!!!
The Rocks still have the County Cup Final to look forward to. Hopefully over the next few weeks, with a little rest the squad will be at full strength for the event.
Now to watch a bit of cricket which hopefuly won't be so stressful
