Published Date:

CONINGSBY travelled to Wyberton for the first round of the Fishtoft Cup.
The first half started with Wyberton playing 4-5-1 against Coningsby's 4-4-2 and this proved better for Coningsby.
They soaked up the pressure from the home side and had the better chances, with goals coming from Jonny Barnsley and Rob Holderness within 30 minutes.
With Coningsby coasting and looking to run out easy first half victors, Wyberton needed to get back into the game - and they did - with two quick goals both coming from Jimmy Britton of Wyberton.
The first was a snap shot from the edge of Coningsby's 18 yard area and the second a goalmouth scramble with a Coningsby defensive error to make it 2-2 at half time.
The second half started with a flurry of chances from Coningsby, but Wyberton soaked up the pressure to keep the score level.
With Coningsby trying harder and harder to find the winner, both Holderness and Barnsley scuppered chances under pressure, but still showed that they can become a feared strike partnership.
Yeomans produced fine saves for the visitors and his back four of Ali Smith, John Eadsforth, Ben Brown, and Sunset were rarely troubled.
The lions share of the action was in midfield where Tom Dickinson, Leeroy Marshall, Steve Brown, and Karl Wilson pushed on.
With one minute to go, against the run of play, it was Wyberton who took the spoils by scoring the winner, to progress into the next round.
Team: Yeomans, Smith, B Brown, Eadsforth, Reeson, Dickinson, S Brown (Robertson), Marshall, Wilson (Lawton), Holderness, Barnsley.
