Title wrapped up already???
The 6-2 scoreline is a bit missleading really as Coastal were right in the game until their centre-back got sent off at the end of the first half. 2-1 at half-time. O'Brien missed a couple of big chances when Coastal were 1-0 up, costly misses.
The second half though, Cashmere had free reign and could have been double figures.Sigmund looked good when he came on in an attack midfield role (even grabbed a goal). Cashmere defence looked pretty comfortable all game. Siggy will be better utilised in the midfield.
Is Siggy eligible in the Chatham cup?
Zach was red after 20mins. Poor call to be sent off but the next penalty 2 minutes later was even worse.
On the 1st goal Coastal players stopped for the whistle.... Unfortunatly it was on the next field!...that was a sad one to concede.
We had to score first and keep 11 on the field, we didn't do both so we lost. Bring on Round III
I felt that the ref had little choice with the red card as once he had decided it was denying a goal scoring opportunity and the player was the last man then the red was going to be the only card produced.
Still 27 points up for grab so still plenty to play for between Tech, Coastal and Suburbs.
