Day 4 - Palace Casuals Cup report.

Like their junior team, Palace Casuals were given a Cup opponent with +1 Level and +1.4Q, the 1st Leg to be played away. Arriving late and unable to change the team from this lunchtime's match, the Casuals Management had to oversee a tired and, in some cases, morale-sapped squad, and they defied expectations and a 3.4Q deficit on starting XI, and made a right game of it. Right-winger Andrea Denicola opened the scoring with an individual goal in the 7th minute, and after the home side scored from a double corner, Denicola assisted left-winger Andre Faisca put the visitors ahead again. The Management made full use of the three substitutions and replaced tired legs, but the home side equalised for the second time at the start of the second half. A stoic defensive display for the rest of the game by the Casuals prevented any further scoring and they take a level scoreline and two away goals into the 2nd Leg in 2 days time.
