Hampshire Cup Quarter Final - we are through to the Semi-Finals!
A&N Car Sponsored CK gave a superb battling performance to win this Quarter Final tie. Going one down after just 5 mins didnt dampen our spirits and we drew level with a fine goal from Harrison Pape. Joe Parsons capped a fantastic individual performance with a goal just before half time to send us into the break 2-1 up.
In a very tight second half Ed OConnor went close with a great effort. Shipton then pulled level against the run of play, but CK never gave up.
There were some great performances all over the pitch, but the defence was outstanding - Callum James, Matt Macken, Will Cooper and Dominic Mussell never game Shipton a sniff at goal!
With just a couple of minutes to go, Shipton had a shot, but Matt Castle made an outstanding save to send the match into extra time.
The first half of extra time was very tight with some great play from both teams. The second half of extra time was just 3 minutes in when CK went 3-2 up with an outstanding finish from Harrison Pape. Again CK kept battling and with the superb Dominic Mussell kept Shipton out to with what was a memorable victory.
Dominic Mussell was player of the match, well done to every one of you - we are all very proud of your performances and looking forward to our Semi-Final!

CK started really well in the second half and deservedly took the lead through Brandon York and scored a second through Brandon again with a cheeky flick that went under the goalkeepers dive.

CK then pressed forward and Will Cooper made it 3-2 with a fine header from a cross and soon after a well placed shot from Ben Smith made it 4-2 to CK.
South Newton & Wishford bounced back again and scored another to make it 4-3 before Matt Castle made a great save to keep CK in front in a tense finish.

Just before half time CK got a corner which resulted in a fine header from Ben Smith which hit the bar, so unlucky!

More pressure and a fine move resulted in a fine finish from Joe Parsons to make it 3-0. Portchesters best move of the game made it 3-1. They were then awarded a free kick which resulted in another goal to make it 3-2 against the run of play.
CK then had to battle hard with Jack Cotton and Luis Cleary at the heart of it in midfield.
CK kept going and could have scored more, but the game ended in a wonderful 3-2 win and put CK through to the Quarter Finals of the Hampshire Cup.
