Clevedon 6th Form scored a great opening round
victory over the reigning Somerset FA County Cup Champions – West Somerset
College. Sporting its own Football Academy West Somerset College turned up
confident that they would continue their previous excellent form and moved into
a 3 – 0 lead within the first half. However, two successful penalties
from David Clark and further goals from Frasier Linnet and James Capon,
in response to one further goal from West Somerset College, ensured that
Clevedon reached full time at 4-4.
Extra time was played out with no further
goals scored and the match nervously reached penalties. Clevedon’s goal keeper,
James Williams, showed inspired form to save two goals allowing Clevedon to
move through to a second round tie with Beechen Cliff School, Bath, 4-1 on
penalties. Clevedon’s four successful penalty takers were David Clark
(completing his penalty hat tricks), Frasier Linnet, Tom Clark and Luca Murray.
Well done to the full team who showed great resilience,
determination and team work to come back from 3-0 down and win through against
such esteemed opposition.
