BUSA de-booster for fourths

28 Feb 1997 — 1 min read

A defeat in BUSA spells the end of a glorious run, but the fourths need to pick themselves up from this defeat and concentrate on the league.

It all went pear-shaped in the first few minutes when our keeper misjudged a routine shot, and then another defensive mistake put IC two down after only ten minutes.

In truth there was no way back from here against a strong Anglian side, but brave, or in hindsight foolish, substitutions gave IC a sniff. In the second half we got it back to 2-1 and then 3-2, with the supremely gifted Morgan expertly finishing from a Nak pass, and a brilliant solo goal from Pete.

Pushing men forward in the final minutes and defensive errors meant that UEA secured the win. We were by no means disgraced, but if the mistakes by the captain and keeper had been cut-out it could have been oh so different.
