Manics Return Just The Ticket

Bracknell Manics faced up against 1st division Crowthorne Sunday and were almost dealt a knock out blow. Crowthorne took an early 2 goal lead one of which was a Ben Westwood own goal, leaving it up to Manics to fight for the game. Hitting the post a couple of times, Manics luck wasn’t with them in the second half, until Ian Nelson bagged a brace to level things up at 2-2. Full time came and the match goes into extra time.

 

 

Manics had the momentum and were rewarded with a further 2 goals in the first half of extra time with Harry Clowse and Gavin Baker netting. Crowthorne didn’t give up though as Manics were reduced to 10 men via injury for the 2nd half of extra time, and the 1st division team piled on the pressure, scoring once more and striking the cross bar. So near yet so far for Crowthorne as they are out of the cup at the hands of Manics and a 4-3 score line after extra time.
