RCA The Barnes stormed through to the Second round of the National
Sunday F.A. Cup with a resounding 4-0 victory over the previously
unbeaten Liverpool outfit Lee Jones F.C.
RCA started the match on the front foot & pressurised from the first
minute & were rewarded for their positive start when Martin Metcalfe
crossed into a crowded box & Gary Tyzack found space for a powerful
header into the bottom left hand corner to give RCA a 5th. Minute
lead. RCA continued in much the same vein with Paul Hartley & Matty
Stevens bossing the midfield & creating good chances which were
spurned by profligate finishing, but after 30 minutes Matty Stevens
chased down a hopeful ball to the left edge of the goal line & sent a
curling cross towards goal, which the goalkeeper & his defender
conspired to make a mess of, resulting in the defender putting into
his own goal to give RCA a 2-0 lead. RCA should have increased this
lead before half time but a couple of decent saves from Lee Jones's
keeper kept the score to 2-0 at ht.
Lee Jones started the second half with the slope & the wind in their
favour & RCA were expecting a tough time of it, but the next goal was
going to be the important one & it was RCA who killed the tie when
good work down the right hand side from Alan Surtees & Gary Tyzack
released Willie Crew through the inside right channel, who then side
stepped a defender & cooly slotted home to give RCA a 3-0 lead after
50minutes.
Lee Jones then applied the first real presure on the home defence, but
with Philly Hall & Micky Curtis both standing firm it came to nought,
before the best move of the game, which started when RCA worked their
way out of their right back/corner flag position with quick incisive
passing from Surtees & Tyzack
resulted in Paul Hartley cleverly releasing Wille Crew through on goal
& he easily rounded the keeper to slot home, 4-0 to RCA.
Lee Jones then had 2 players dismissed over the same incident, when
their keeper brought down RCA's Martin Metcalfe, who had knocked the
ball past him & was through on goal for what would have been the fifth
goal, & was correctly shown the red card & a further player showed
dissent at this decision & was given his second yellow.
RCA then played out the last 15mins. avoiding any possible injuries &
now look forward to the second round draw & next weeks Durham County
Sunday Cup match against South Moor Sports in Stanley.
