Goals, red cards, penalty saves and light problems!

Tuesday 17 October 2017, Rothwell Corinthians 2 Cogenhoe United 4 - United Counties, Premier, Sergeants Lawn




The game that had it all but at first we thought we had a 200 mile wasted trip. Arrived in plenty of time but the Ref would not start the game as one light was out- it made little difference but he insisted we waited till it was fixed, after 15 minutes it came back on and we started the game at 8pm.




Cogenhoe have no manager and Rothwell are on a good run but it was the visitors who dominated the early play and got the first goal, then a bad tackle, some pushing and shoving and ref who took ages to make a decision. In the end just 2 yellow cards. Cogenhoe then added a second just before the break.





Second half and Rothwell got back in the game, an early goal followed by a penalty. However they were not on terms long as Cogenhoe broke away and re-took the lead.



Then we had two quick red cards for Rothwell players followed by a fourth goal for Cogenhoe, we thought that was it but in the last few minutes, the ref gave Rothwell a penalty that no one else in the ground could believe, even the Rothwell players, another yellow cared and a penalty save.




Great game for the neutral - and Cogenhoe fans.
