AVELEY made a flying start to Saturday’s Buildbase FA Trophy Extra Preliminary tie at Parkside, taking the lead in the first minute when Alex Akrofi set up Tom Richardson who chipped keeper Morgan Campbell.
A DISPUTED goal four minutes from time was all that separated these two sides in the end, but this was a Vanarama National League South match that Wealdstone dominated almost from start to finish.
WHAT looked like a tricky tie on paper for Blues turned out to be anything but, with an all round team performance propelling them into the next round of the FA Trophy at the expense of Felixstowe & Walton. An inspired Joao Carlos with two quality strikes and an Adeyinka Cole goal helped to extend Blues unbeaten run to four games, a missed Shomari Barnwell penalty in injury time was the only blemish on the afternoon.

REFEREES are important to games but when the inconsistency proves to be the difference its hard pill to swallow. Two decisions just before half time changed the game and no doubt the outcome of the game.
