Fish Walsh reports from Roots Hall as Blues remain unchanged but with new boys on the bench. Condomentry City field a strong team with Hunty’s brother Steve, and with Joe Cole guesting.
First Half and Blues start well, put The Condoms under pressure. No end result then Con have a good spell, Bentley great save. Then Jack Payne shoots across goal and scores! 23mins, 1-0 Blues! Con keep possession well, but Blues break with Hendrie and sets up Barnett – 2-0 Blues! Payne shoots, great save! Blues battling and keep it clean!
Halftime 2-0 Blues
Second half and Con come on strong, unfortunately Digger flies in for a second yellow and gets sent off. Ten men now, what’s Phil going to do? Payne off replaced by Timlin, Con use all 3 subs. Then Big Willy Atko goes on a run, fouled by keeper, PENALTY! Ref bottles it and gives keeper a yellow card. Barnett screams in the penalty 3-0 Blues! Noel Hunt replaces Barnett, who gets a standing ovation. Con have plenty of ball but Blues defence hold firm!
Full time 3-0 Blues
