LMFC Res vs Framlingham Res

Report

Club captain Steve Adams scored the winner tonight on his return after 18 months out.

Despite the damp weather, the pitch stood up well in what was a closely fought Suffolk Senior Reserve Cup quarter-final.

Reserve team manager Dave Hennessey had lots of problems fielding an eligible team as many of his usual players had been involved with the first team.

The only goal of the match came after 60 minutes when after a dreadful tackle on Ismail Marshall 10 yards in the Melford half, from the resultant free kick Charlie Coy found the Framlingham penalty area. The ball was flicked on by Kyran Quelch, to be finished with a deft touch by STEVE ADAMS.

There were close encounters at both ends, before the game was marred one minute from the end when Deklyn Roy was in receipt of a late challenge from a Framlingham player, and spent some five minutes writhing in agony, before being assisted to the treatment room, again only a yellow card issued by the referee.

The club send best wishes to both Ismail and Deklyn, who will have to get their injuries quantified at the local hospital. CHENOBERET
