SILVERWARE FOR THE ANCHOR F.C.
Following last year's 8-3 drubbing last year, the Anchor (9th in Division 2) were determined not to go down to Vorranova (5th in the Premier) at Maldon Town in the Something Cup.
With manager Jose Pogrinho unavoidably detained, caretaker Mark Woodyard opted for an unorthodox 3-5-2 formation to maximise the attacking skew within the squad and the form displayed in the final day matches versus Newsaints.
Against the anticipations of the crowd, Anchor F.C. found themselves 3-0 up against their Premiership opposition inthe first half. The flow of play was reversed following Mark Woodyard's reckless challenge in the box. Vorronova's penalty lead to a comeback and at half-time the score was 4-4.
The second half also proved to be a close encounter with Vorronova going ahead, then the reverse. Anchor found themselves 7-6 ahead with 5 minutes to go and a failed offside trap led to the scores being levelled at 7-7.
To settle the "final", it went to straight to penalties. Brady - Goal, Vorranova - Goal, Jamie - Saved, Vorranova - Blasted over, Hanover - Goal, Vorranova - Goal, Woodyard - Goal (sold the goalie with the eyes), Vorranova - Goal, Weston - Goal (just). So, it all came down to the last penalty. The shot was taken down to the keeper's left, Coleman went down and stretched out a majestic left hand to push the ball around the post, to give Anchor their first silverware of their 3-year history. More is expected next season.
