The Mighty Shrimpers took to the field in front of nearly 9k fans and took it to the Fletic from two divisions higher.
First half and the lanky Fletic forwards are given space to send the Sarf Londoners 2-0 up. They miss a chance for three but Blues refuse to die and a handball gives Jack Bridge the penalty for 1-2 halfo.
Second half and the Blues pressure sees Ollie Coker shooting home but the Reds hit back for 2-3. Again it’s Blues pressure leading to a late OG equaliser for 3-3 full time. so it’s off to the Valley for a replay! err wait a minute them Premier League twats say no replays coz their precious players might get tired… so Extra Time…
Extra time and it’s a bit cagey, pens looming when a hopeful punt causes confusion in the Blues defence and Ahadme scores with a smart finish on 121mins.
GUTTED but Blues were brilliant and deserved a pen shootout win!
