Derby City Cup 3rd Round

Sports made hard work of the first half, playing against a stiff wind they dominated the midfield battle putting Matt Peberday, Ross King and Scott Rogers through on goal only for all three to waste chances with poor finishing.  On 20 minutes during another good attacking move Ross laid the ball to Gaz Hayes who fired home from outside the box.  Mickleover nearly equalised thanks to Paul Burgess and goalkeeper Alex Smith who made a simple clearance a heart stopping calamity.  Ross missed an absolute sitter on half time.

Into the second half Sports took total control. Matt up front ran the defence ragged with strong punishing runs. Matt scored twice and deserved a lot more for his efforts.  Josh Lebelinski picked the ball up on the edge of Sport's area, four touches later, thanks to Scott, Gaz, right winger and man of the match Kevin Farrell hit the fourth.  Luke Thomas finished off a polished second half performance with anther 25 yarder. Credit must go to Mickleover who never gave especially the goalkeeper who was magnificent on the day.
