Cup woe and cup glory

 Tuesday 10 May 2022, Cup Double.

2pm - Coventry City Under 23s 5 Ipswich Town Under 23s 4 (aet) - Professional Development League, Play-offs, semi-final, Coventry Building Society Arena 

Then a drive down the M40 to:

7.45pm - British Airways 5 Woodley United 0 - Combine Counties, Division One Cup, 3rd Round, The Orchard

Not sure how Ipswich lost this game, dominated the first half after giving away a goal early on and went in at the break 2-1 up but should have been 4 or 5 up.

Second half was a tighter affair but Ipswich still created the better chances, however City got back on terms and then Ipswich hit the bar in the last minute of the game.

Ipswich had a perfect start to extra time, scoring withing 40 seconds and could have added more, then it all started going wrong, a needless penalty given away got City back on terms, However Ipswich got the best goal of the game before the break to go back in front. Just 15 minutes to go- then red card, penalty and a header from close range gave City the win that few expected during the game. Humphreys from Ipswich being the star of the match. 

Then down to Heathrow area for:

British Airways dominated the game from the start, going ahead on 10 minutes and adding two further goals at the end of the half and two more in the second half plus missing numerous chances.

Good footballing team, plenty of skill on show but have some very unpleasant players who constantly, moan at the ref, dive, blame each other , wind up the opponents- no need to do it as they are a good footballing team.

The ground is very run down but a small team of volunteers from Bedfont were at the game and seem to do most of the administration for BA FC, some doubt on when are where the semi final will be played.
