13th January 2008 - Berks and Bucks Sunday Junior Cup - Palmer Park, Reading 

Wanderers suffered a heavy defeat against Purple Turtle to crash out of the County Cup.

 

The Blues welcomed back Chris Hillsdon from injury and fancied their chances despite the heavy pitch and windy conditions.

 

Wokingham struggled to pass the ball in the opening ten minutes and went behind through a freak goal.  A long ball from midway inside the Turtle half caught in the wind and bounced over Nick Harding's head and into the net.

 

A second goal followed before half-time and Wokingham were up against it.

 

The second half continued in the same way as the first.  Purple Turtle hit four goals, including a late penalty after a foul by Andy Corless.

 

Paul Martin had pulled a goal back when he hooked in following Matt Pegg's free-kick.

 

This was an awful Wanderers performance though, and one that rightly ended their cup run.

 

TEAM: Nick Harding, Andy Corless, Chris Hillsdon, Matt Pegg, Chris Orbell, Jamie Ryall, Simon Reip, Dave Griffiths, Anthony Prior, Ian Griffiths, Paul Martin.

SUBS: Lewis Trusty (for Ryall), Phil Soane (for Orbell) and Peter Killingworth (Not Used).
