Farncombe FC moved into the Quarter Finals of the League Cup with a hard fought win over Burpham Reserves.
Farncombe were surprisingly sluggish at the start and it was clear that their 442 formation was not working despite Talbot putting them a goal ahead.
Manager Darwen changed it to 433 with Gauld moving infield and immediately Farncombe picked up, creating better chances.
Captain for the day Batty made it 2-0 and that was the score at half-time.
Burpham started the second half the stronger and were awarded a penalty when Acton caught their centre-forward. Fortunately for Farncombe the penalty was put woefully wide. Burpham however fought on and pulled a goal back when their striker latched on to a ball over the top and finished well past Readman.
Farncombe battled back to control the game and Batty was on hand to turn in Thomas' cross-cum-shot to put the game out of Burpham's reach and book a quarter final place against Bedfont Green.
In junior football, should all players be given the same amount of time on the pitch during a game, regardless of ability?
Yes, always. Getting kids involved is the most important thing.
Yes, unless it is an important game.
No. Winning is important at all ages, so the best players should play more often.
