WEEK 5:AEGIS CUP:ZOOLOGY 1 COMPUTER CENTRE FC 2

The best match of the season so far saw CCFC progress strongly into the next round of the Aegis Cup. The two sides have nearly always provided great entertainment in thier clashes and the low score-line pays homage to how tight the game was.

A silence of anticipation met the two teams as they waited for the whistle. With kick-off gone CCFC took shape and started to pressure ZOO's defence. Each time they found the door shut and had to play back down the field and start again or have a rash poke at goal, to which ZOO's 'keeper was always ready. The marking on both sides was exemplary and was only frayed 3 minutes from half time when Walsh cracked a long shot wide and as the defender failed to work out where it was going Hajisavvi controlled and neatly broke the deadlock.

The rest of the half was played out with continued intensity and half time must have come as some relief for the two teams. Bates used his possesion brilliantly and started many of CCFC's most effective moves, it was his outlay to Ayling that led to Hajisavvi pouncing on the rebound and with a quick swipe of the ball it was 2 - 0.

ZOO had made a substitution at the interval who was relatively new to the game. This showed when Hajisavvi was through on goal only to have one of them chop him down with a sliding tackle. With no damage done the referee wisely advised the two new players of the rules and play carried on. Hajisavvi was replaced by Banks and as legs tired play opened up.

This led to a goal for ZOO but not a collapse from CCFC. Not once did it feel like they would walk away the losers but ZOO were going to make them battle all the same. Banks returned the sliding tackle to CCFC's new found friend on the opposition and sent him crashing into the wall. Luckily it looked worse than it appeared and he got up a little shaken. A fine performance for both sides and a deserved victory for CCFC.

TEAM:Ross Bates, Paul Ayling, Paul Hajisavvi(7,13)(Roy Banks-14min), Simon Walsh.
