Blackstone 1 v 2 Cathedral
Disapointed to exit the AOH after 2 last 8s in 3 years. We started very well and had a one on one and hit the crossbar inside a few minutes. Went one up after 20, but kind of lost our momentum as both strikers went down injured and spent time on the sidelines as we tried to keep them on. Cathedral played well and had the lions share of possession without getting too many chances. They equalised on 78 from a ping pong corner and scored the winner from the spot with the 10 minutes up in the second period of extra time. I was disapointed in the official - this is not any excuse. When both teams complain about the official, it sends its own message. An older official who uses the schoolteacher approach that does not work in modern football.
