Borough U18's played their 1st competitive game of the season
at Priory Lane, and welcomed Folkestone Invicta to Priory
Lane for this FA Youth Cup tie. A wise man once said, and
said it again tonight, that 'Goals change games'. He probably
also said 'You must take your chances when you get them';
and both these phrases applied to the game this evening.
MOM Darren Lok started brightly for 'The Sports', and after
having a goalscoring opportunity denied with a late tackle
in the opening minute he scored his 1st of the evening on
5 minutes; controlling well and volleying home past Alex
Conyers for 1-0. Lok threatened to run riot in the opening
40 minutes; as did his team-mates, and Tristan Jarvis and
Kieran Manning both shot wide or at Conyers in the opening
15 minutes before Lok scored his 2nd on 18 minutes; lobbing
the keeper to emphasise Boro's dominance.
Simon Johnson continued to drive the side on and the visitors
at time looked lost as to how to get a foothold in the game.
The chance arrived in the 41st minutes when a short back-pass
by Sam Stappleton allowed Warren Smith to drive past Adam
Sargent for 2-1. Smith lifted a free-kick from the 18 yard
box over the bar as Invicta grew in confidence and the 2nd
half opened with Sargent forced into a low save.
On 52 minutes the comeback was complete for the visitors
as the Boro back-four hestitated as a long-ball dropped
between the back-line and the keeper. Jon Driscoll fired
low across Sargent for 2-2; a scoreline that looked highly
unlikely in the opening 40 minutes.
2 minutes later Liam Hark could have grabbed the lead for
Folkestone but he shot weakly at the Boro No.1 before the
lively Michael Lloyd delivered a fine low ball across the
'Invicta' box; Jarvis and Ben Jesson unable to apply a finish.
Boro began to press for a 3rd as Johnson fired over, Lok
was denied by brave keeping and the Folkestone defence scrambled
clear on 65 minutes.
Folkestone were still in the tie and Driscoll's looping
header forced Sargent to save before Lok was again denied
by a fabulous last ditch challenge from Sam Henson; the
goal at his mercy. Joe Bell flicked a clever header goalwards
from a free-kick but Sargent was untroubled before Boro
were reduced to 10 men; Mills receiving a 2nd yellow 3 minutes
from time.
In the 1st half of extra-time Johnson bent a shot wide and
Mr Lindsay turned down a decent penalty claim. The '2nd'
half saw Folkestone hit the post as Boro's 10 men worked
hard. The effort was finally rewarded when Lok fired a low
drive into the bottom corner; Conyers finger-tips not enough
to deflect the effort on 120 minutes. Jamie Strong had a
couple of chances to extend the lead but Lok had got his
side out of jail and 'The Sports' progressed into the next
round.
