Season 57

[Pete Cresswell]

Rugby's Better's fans woke up to the news of a 6-1 drubbing in the 2nd leg of the Cup, the higher level opposition only managed 6 shots on goal (1 goal was from a free kick), and 50% posession with a 4-5-1 flat formation, but their world-class striker lived up to his reputation and converted his chances well. And their World Class GK was up to stopping 6 of our 7 shots on goal.

Adding injury to insult, Rugby's Better's near-world class DMC Ruiz suffered a dislocated shoulder in a foul tackle, and 2 goals went in before he could be auto-subbed.

Manager Pete Cresswell was rueful at the team's loss after the 3-2 home leg win had raised fans' hopes, but commented that now he would be able to put more of the team's focus into the League. A win away this evening ought to put the team back into the running for a CL berth next season at least
