Charlie Bassetts 2 Sudbury 2
Charlie Bassetts faced their bogey team Sudbury at Blythe Bridge and as always made it hard work after injuries and unavailability to a number of players saw only 6 players involved from the previous week. Sudbury took the lead from the penalty spot after George Attu had a caused problems and was fouled which saw Josh Beardsley step up and put enough power into score despite Brad Cummings get a hand to it. Half time saw a change of tactics but Sudbury made it 2-0 after good work once again from Attu saw the ball find Kevin Mamombe.
Bassetts reduced the deficit through veteran Chris Lockett and got an equaliser from Callum Stockbridge. A game of two halves where both sides could have had taken advantage if they had converted their chances Sudbury in the first and Charlie’s in the second. The result sees Charlie Bassetts into a semi final which trophy depends on how Sudbury do against Tean Rangers Reserves next week.
