Gretton go through to the last 16 of the lower junior cup with an emphatic win !
Gretton set out their stall early and really got amongst Daventry. The UCL side conceaded on 20 minutes with Shaine McAlindons header from a shot rebounding off the bar, then on 34 minutes, a cross-C*M-shot from Adam Muir added to Grettons tally. John Fursdon added another 6 minutes later with a close range volley to put the underdogs in at half-time 3 nil up.
With the half only a minute old, Saul McCracken pounced on a poor back-pass to slot home Grettons forth. The UCL side pushed hard to get back into the game, and got some reward on 65 and 75 minutes pulling 2 goals back.
Gretton continued the fight, and in the 80th minute they were awarded a penalty that was duly despatched into the daventry net for a glorious 5-2 win.
Men of the match were keeper Lee Brydon for the half-dozen amazing second half saves, and Adam Muir for a stalwart performance at left-back.
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.
