Grove through to the next round with a good 4-3 win over bridgy. Grove were flying 1st half, dominating the game and going 4-0 nil up with some great goals scored. Took our foot off in the 2nd half and in fairness to bridgy they through everything at us. We gifted them 2 goals
Good game last night
@BurnhamUnited
good luck to them for this season. We don't have access to heart rate monitors but we do know that wilko ran the least but scored the most. Goals from Rico, luke Oliver (screamer/cross) and only 4 for wilko.
