Report:
With the sunshine finally arriving and freshly mown pitches turned hard and providing bounce, an interesting evening’s football ensued at Gunnersbury.
G&T hit fine form and established an early two goal lead over Ernst & Young. By half time, this had extended to 4-0 and it seemed a case of how many more would they score. However Ernst and Young showed grit and determination, holding off the onslaught and it was not always easy to believe the score line. In the end, G&T scored a late goal to record an impressive 5-0 win and trip to the semi finals.
Cushman & Wakefield also recorded a big win of 7-2 against NB Real Estate. The match started out on more even terms and for a time, when the scoreline stood at 2-1, NB looked promising. In the second half, the C&W stretched their lead to 4-2. The match was put beyond doubt when the referee awarded the reds two penalties, both of which were scored. At 6-2 there was no coming back and the late addition was simply icing on the cake for Cushman’s.
The closest match of the night was between Drivers Jonas and GVA Grimley. DJ took the early advantage and went two up and, although GVA had one back by half time, DJ led for most of the match. In the second half it was all GVA and, although Drivers Jonas defended well, they made the mistake of sitting too far back, letting GVA spend far too much time in their half. With pressure mounting, an equaliser long in the making came with ten minutes remaining. With the clock ticking extra time looked inevitable, but a goal in injury time pushed GVA into the lead for the first time in the match and they came out as 3-2 winners.
